This short note is concerned with the rotational invariance of the stored energy density in continuum physics as a scalar function of a few vectors. A simple derivation is presented for the determination of the general form of the energy…

This work is dedicated to the study of the Moebius invariant class of constrained Willmore surfaces and its symmetries. We define a spectral deformation by the action of a loop of flat metric connections; Baecklund transformations, by…

The variation of energies associated with soft matter interfaces where surface inhomogeneities are present. These energies include the total bending and splay energy, the variable surface tension energy, a coupling energy between the total…

Using the notion of Gamma-convergence, we discuss the limiting behavior of the 3d nonlinear elastic energy for thin elliptic shells, as their thickness h converges to zero, under the assumption that the elastic energy of deformations scales…

We consider the problem of minimizing the Willmore energy connected surfaces with prescribed surface area which are confined to a finite container. To this end, we approximate the surface by a phase field function $u$ taking values close to…

We introduce a family of variational functionals for spinor fields on a compact Riemann surface $M$ that can be used to find close-to-conformal immersions of $M$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ in a prescribed regular homotopy class. Numerical…

We report an ab initio evaluation of the surface energy of a simple metal, performed via a coupling-constant integration over the dynamical density-response function. The rapid rate of change of the electron density at the surface is…

Novel results for the self-consistent single-particle spectral function and self-energy are presented for non-degenerate one-component Coulomb systems at various densities and temperatures. The GW^0-method for the dynamical self-energy is…

We obtain a unified theory of discrete minimal surfaces based on discrete holomorphic quadratic differentials via a Weierstrass representation. Our discrete holomorphic quadratic differential are invariant under M\"{o}bius transformations.…

In this work, we provide a characterization result for lower semicontinuity of surface energies defined on piecewise rigid functions, i.e., functions which are piecewise affine on a Caccioppoli partition where the derivative in each…

Detailed experimental data for physisorption potential-energy curves of H2 on low-indexed faces of Cu challenge theory. Recently, density-functional theory has been developed to also account for nonlocal correlation effects, including van…

In this work, we study the fractional power series solutions around regular singular point x=0 of conformable fractional Bessel differential equation and fractional Bessel functions. Then, we compare fractional solutions with ordinary…

This article surveys the Weierstrass representation of surfaces in the three- and four-dimensional spaces, with an emphasis on its relation to the Willmore functional. We also describe an application of this representation to constructing a…

For an integral $2$-varifold $V\subset \mathbb{S}^3$ with square-integrable mean curvature, unit density, and support of genus at least $1$, assume that its Willmore energy satisfies \[ \mathcal{W}(V)\le 2\pi^2+\delta^2,\qquad…

In this paper, we show that the optimal fundamental estimate holds true on a weakly $1$-complete manifold with mild conditions, then we establish the weak Morse inequalities for lower energy forms on the manifold. We also study the case for…

We propose a second version of the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF2) of Dion et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)], employing a more accurate semilocal exchange functional and the use of a large-N asymptote gradient…

We develop a dynamical density functional theory based model for the drying of colloidal films on planar surfaces. We consider mixtures of two different sizes of hard-sphere colloids. Depending on the solvent evaporation rate and the…

We study rigidity of polyhedral surfaces and the moduli space of polyhedral surfaces using variational principles. Curvature like quantities for polyhedral surfaces are introduced. Many of them are shown to determine the polyhedral metric…

The Wigner phase-space distribution function provides the basis for Moyal's deformation quantization alternative to the more conventional Hilbert space and path integral quantizations. General features of time-independent Wigner functions…

We consider a discrete-continuum model of a biomembrane with embedded particles. While the membrane is represented by a continuous surface, embedded particles are described by rigid discrete objects which are free to move and rotate in…
