The growth of several biological tissues is known to be controlled in part by local geometrical features, such as the curvature of the tissue interface. This control leads to changes in tissue shape that in turn can affect the tissue's…

We pursue two goals in this article. As our first goal, we construct a family $\mathcal{M}_G$ of Gibbs like measures on the set of piecewise linear convex functions $g:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}$. It turns out that there is a one-to-one…
For a locally finite set in $\mathbb{R}^2$, the order-$k$ Brillouin tessellations form an infinite sequence of convex face-to-face tilings of the plane. If the set is coarsely dense and generic, then the corresponding infinite sequences of…
