We consider a singular parabolic equation of form \[ u_t = u_{xx} + \frac{\alpha}{2}(\mathrm{sgn}\,u_x)_x \] with periodic boundary conditions. Solutions to this kind of equations exhibit competition between smoothing due to one-dimensional…

Surface incompressibility, also called inextensibility, imposes a zero-surface-divergence constraint on the velocity of a closed deformable material surface. The well-posedness of the mechanical problem under such constraint depends on an…
We formalize the intuitive idea of a labelled discrete surface which evolves in time, subject to two natural constraints: the evolution does not propagate information too fast; and it acts everywhere the same.
A fully discrete finite element method, based on a new weak formulation and a new time-stepping scheme, is proposed for the surface diffusion flow of closed curves in the two-dimensional plane. It is proved that the proposed method can…
