Let $\gamma: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+$ be a convex integrand and $\mathcal{W}_\gamma$ be the Wulff shape of $ \gamma$. Apex point naturally arise in non-smooth Wulff shape, in particular, vertex of convex polytope. %Let $P\in S^n$. In this…

For any given Wulff shape $\mathcal{W}$, we can define the unique continuous function $S^{n}\to \mathbb{R}_{+}$ called convex integrand, denoted by $\gamma_{{}_{\mathcal{W}}}$. In this paper, we show that, for any Wulff shapes…

For given continuous functions $\gamma_{{}_{i}}: S^{n}\to \mathbb{R}_{+}$ (where $i=1, 2$), the functions $\gamma_{{}_{max}}$ and $\gamma_{{}_{min}}$ can be defined as natural way. In this paper, we show that the Wulff shape associated to…

We consider a convex solid cone $\mathcal{C}\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with vertex at the origin and boundary $\partial\mathcal{C}$ smooth away from $0$. Our main result shows that a compact two-sided hypersurface $\Sigma$ immersed in…

We study a variational problem for piecewise-smooth hypersurfaces in the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space with an anisotropic energy. An anisotropic energy is the integral of an energy density that depends on the normal at each point over…

In this paper, it is shown that a Wulff shape is strictly convex if and only if its convex integrand is of class $C^1$. Moreover, applications of this result are given.

We prove smoothness of $W^{2,2}$ isometric immersions of surfaces endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric of positive Gauss curvature. We then derive the $\Gamma$-limit of three dimensional nonlinear shells with inhomogeneous energy…

An anisotropic surface energy is the integral of an energy density that depends on the normal at each point over the considered surface, and it is a generalization of surface area. The minimizer of such an energy among all closed surfaces…

The present work revisits the classical Wulff problem restricted to crystalline integrands, a class of surface energies that gives rise to finitely faceted crystals. The general proof of the Wulff theorem was given by J.E. Taylor (1978) by…

We consider the following conjecture (from Huang, et al): Let $\Delta^+$ denote the upper half disc in $\mathbb{C}$ and let $\gamma = ( - 1, 1)$ (viewed as an interval in the real axis in $\mathbb{C}$). Assume that $F$ is a holomorphic…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbf R^d$ and $h(\varphi)=\sum^d_{k,l=1}(\partial_k\varphi, c_{kl}\partial_l\varphi)$ a quadratic form on $L_2(\Omega)$ with domain $C_c^\infty(\Omega)$ where the $c_{kl}$ are real symmetric…

We start the investigation of free boundary variational models featuring varying singularities. The theory depends strongly on the nature of the singular power $\gamma(x)$ and how it changes. Under a mild continuity assumption on…

A sequence of constant mean curvature surfaces $\Sigma_j$ with mean curvature $H_j \to \infty$ in a three-dimensional manifold $M$ condenses to a compact and connected graph $\Gamma$ consisting of a finite union of curves if $\Sigma_j$ is…

The idealized theory of quantum vacuum energy density is a beautiful application of the spectral theory of differential operators with boundary conditions, but its conclusions are physically unacceptable. A more plausible model of a…

We consider a system of $N$ hard spheres sitting on the nodes of either the $\mathrm{FCC}$ or $\mathrm{HCP}$ lattice and interacting via a sticky-disk potential. As $N$ tends to infinity (continuum limit), assuming the interaction energy…

In this paper, in particular, we prove the following result: Let $E$ be a reflexive real Banach space and let $C\subset E$ be a closed convex set, with non-empty interior, whose boundary is sequentially weakly closed and non-convex. Then,…

The set \[ \Gamma {\stackrel{\rm def}{=}} \{(z+w,zw):|z|\leq 1,|w|\leq 1\} \subset {\mathbb{C}}^2 \] has intriguing complex-geometric properties; it has a 3-parameter group of automorphisms, its distinguished boundary is a ruled surface…

We give sufficient and necessary geometric conditions, guaranteeing that an immersed compact closed manifold $\Sigma^m\subset \R^n$ of class $C^1$ and of arbitrary dimension and codimension (or, more generally, an Ahlfors-regular compact…

For a fixed smooth map $u_0$ between two Riemann surfaces $\Sigma$ and $S$ with non-zero degree, we consider the energy function on Teichm\"uller space $\mc{T}$ of $\Sigma$ that assigns to a complex structure $t\in \mc{T}$ on $\Sigma$ the…

We prove that a certain discrete energy for triangulated surfaces, defined in the spirit of discrete differential geometry, converges to the Willmore energy in the sense of $\Gamma$-convergence. Variants of this discrete energy have been…
