We show local higher integrability of derivative of a suitable weak solution to the surface growth model, provided a scale-invariant quantity is locally bounded. If additionally our scale-invariant quantity is small, we prove local…
We extend our 2+1 dimensional discrete growth model (PRE 79, 021125 (2009)) with conserved, local exchange dynamics of octahedra, describing surface diffusion. A roughening process was realized by uphill diffusion and curvature dependence.…

Programming the non-uniform growth of a responsive polymer gel has emerged as a powerful tool to shape sheets into prescribed three dimensional shapes. We demonstrate that shapes with zero Gaussian curvature, except at singularities,…
When stretched in one direction, most solids shrink in the transverse directions. In soft silicone gels, however, we observe that small-scale topographical features grow upon stretching. A quantitative analysis of the topography shows that…
The restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model is a model of continuous-time surface growth characterized by the constraint that adjacent height differences are bounded by a fixed constant. Though the model is conjectured to belong to the KPZ…

Unstable homoepitaxy on rough substrates is treated within a linear continuum theory. The time dependence of the surface width $W(t)$ is governed by three length scales: The characteristic scale $l_0$ of the substrate roughness, the terrace…
We implement substrate rotation in a 2+1 dimensional solid-on-solid model of ion beam sputtering of solid surfaces. With this extension of the model, we study the effect of concurrent rotation, as the surface is sputtered, on possible…
A class of nonequilibrium models with short-range interactions and sequential updates is presented. The models describe one dimensional growth processes which display a roughening transition between a smooth and a rough phase. This…
We study statistical scale invariance and dynamic scaling in a simple solid-on-solid 2+1 - dimensional limited mobility discrete model of nonequilibrium surface growth, which we believe should describe the low temperature kinetic roughening…
We propose a variational framework for accretive surface growth driven by an optimality principle. Rather than prescribing a kinetic law, the configuration at each time step is obtained, within a time-discrete setting, as the solution of a…
Nambu-Goto model is investigated by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique on dynamically triangulated surfaces of spherical topology. We find that the model has four distinct phases; crumpled, branched-polymer, linear, and…

A model describing cell membranes as optimal shapes with regard to the $L^2$-deficit of their mean curvature to a given constant called spontaneous curvature is considered. It is shown that the corresponding energy functional is lower…
