Our goal is to identify the type and number of static equilibrium points of solids arising from fine, equidistant $n$-discretrizations of smooth, convex surfaces. We assume uniform gravity and a frictionless, horizontal, planar support. We…

Point discretization of curved surfaces is required in many applications ranging from object rendering to the solution of surface partial differential equations (PDEs). These applications often impose that surfaces are sampled with local…

We present a computational scheme that derives a global polynomial level set parametrisation for smooth closed surfaces from a regular surface-point set and prove its uniqueness. This enables us to approximate a broad class of smooth…

We present a general purpose method for solving partial differential equations on a closed surface, based on a technique for discretizing the surface introduced by Wenjun Ying and Wei-Cheng Wang [J. Comput. Phys. 252 (2013), pp. 606-624]…

We introduce a class of discrete models for surface relaxation. By exactly solving the master equation which governs the microscopic dynamics of the surface, we determine the steady state of the surface and calculate its roughness. We will…

Stability and convergence of full discretizations of various surface evolution equations are studied in this paper. The proposed discretization combines a higher-order evolving-surface finite element method (ESFEM) for space discretization…

We study local and global approximations of smooth nets of curvature lines and smooth conjugate nets by respective discrete nets (circular nets and planar quadrilateral nets) with infinitesimal quads. It is shown that choosing the points of…

In the present paper, we propose a new discrete surface theory on 3-valent embedded graphs in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space which are not necessarily discretization or approximation of smooth surfaces. The Gauss curvature and the mean…

In this paper we first apply the general analysis described in our first paper to a binary mixture of cyclohexane and $n$-hexane. We use the square gradient model for the continuous description of a non-equilibrium surface and obtain…

Rocking stones, balanced in counter-intuitive positions have always intrigued geologists. In our paper we explain this phenomenon based on high-precision scans of pebbles which exhibit similar behavior. We construct their convex hull and…

We study the scaling properties of self-flattening surfaces under global suppression on surface fluctuations. Evolution of self-flattening surfaces is described by restricted solid-on-solid type monomer deposition-evaporation model with…

We establish the relation between local stability of equilibria and slopes of critical curves for a specific class of difference equations. We then use this result to give global behavior results for nonnegative solutions of the system of…

We present a simple, accurate method for computing singular or nearly singular integrals on a smooth, closed surface, such as layer potentials for harmonic functions evaluated at points on or near the surface. The integral is computed with…

Solutions of partial differential equations can often be written as surface integrals having a kernel related to a singular fundamental solution. Special methods are needed to evaluate the integral accurately at points on or near the…

In this paper, extending the work of Gal'perin (Comm. Math. Phys. 154: 63-84, 1993), we investigate generalizations of the concepts of centroids and static equilibrium points of a convex body in spherical, hyperbolic and normed spaces. In…

The set of volumes of stable surfaces does have accumulation points. In this paper, we study this phenomenon for surfaces with one cyclic quotient singularity, towards answering the question under which conditions we can still have…

In this paper, we extend our previous work on the study of local scales of a function to studying local scales on curves and surfaces. In the case of a function f, the local scales of f at x is computed by measuring the deviation of f from…

We study a higher-order surface finite element (SFEM) penalty-based discretization of the tangential surface Stokes problem. Several discrete formulations are investigated which are equivalent in the continuous setting. The impact of the…

We show that the theory of varifolds can be suitably enriched to open the way to applications in the field of discrete and computational geometry. Using appropriate regularizations of the mass and of the first variation of a varifold we…

Under natural assumptions, an unstable equilibrium of a difference equation can be stabilized by a bounded multiplicative noise, identically distributed at each step. This includes stabilization of an otherwise unstable positive equilibrium…
