Parametric Approximation of Willmore Flow and Related Geometric Evolution Equations [PDF]
We present various variational approximations of Willmore flow in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$. As well as the classic Willmore flow, we also consider variants that are (a) volume preserving and (b) volume and area preserving. The latter evolution law is the so-called Helfrich flow. In addition, we consider motion by Gaus curvature.

On quasilinear parabolic evolution equations in weighted Lp-spaces II [PDF]
Our study of abstract quasi-linear parabolic problems in time-weighted L_p-spaces, begun in [17], is extended in this paper to include singular lower order terms, while keeping low initial regularity.

On ``hyperboloidal'' Cauchy data for vacuum Einstein equations and obstructions to smoothness of ``null infinity'' [PDF]
Various works have suggested that the Bondi--Sachs--Penrose decay conditions on the gravitational field at null infinity are not generally representative of asymptotically flat space--times.

Evolution of Aerosol Particles in the Rainfall Process via Method of Moments
The method of moments is employed to predict the evolution of aerosol particles in the rainfall process. To describe the dynamic properties of particle size distribution, the population balance equation is converted to moment equations by the method of ...

Null Curve Evolution in Four-Dimensional Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces
We define a Lie bracket on a certain set of local vector fields along a null curve in a 4-dimensional semi-Riemannian space form. This Lie bracket will be employed to study integrability properties of evolution equations for null curves in a pseudo ...

Emergent parallel transport and curvature in Hermitian and non-Hermitian quantum mechanics [PDF]
Studies have shown that the Hilbert spaces of non-Hermitian systems require nontrivial metrics. Here, we demonstrate how evolution dimensions, in addition to time, can emerge naturally from a geometric formalism.

A parametric finite element method for fourth order geometric evolution equations [PDF]
We present a finite element approximation of motion by minus the Laplacian of curvature and related flows. The proposed scheme covers both the closed curve case, and the case of curves that are connected via triple junctions. On introducing a parametric finite element approximation, we prove stability bounds and compare our scheme with existing ...
