Red Blood Cell Membrane Mechanics Using Discrete Exterior Calculus (DEC) and Optimization [PDF]
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 42, Issue 4, April 2026.We present a novel DEC approach for calculating RBC shapes applicable to other cell types and membrane problems. We derive an energy minimization equation that can be solved semi‐implicitly, and a Lie derivative method to control node spacing. This novel work should aid computational modeling in many biological situations.

Integral Formulas for Almost Product Manifolds and Foliations
Mathematics, 2022 Integral formulas are powerful tools used to obtain global results in geometry and analysis. The integral formulas for almost multi-product manifolds, foliations and multiply twisted products of Riemannian, metric-affine and sub-Riemannian manifolds, to ...

Nonholonomic Systems and Sub-Riemannian Geometry [PDF]
Communications in Information and Systems, 2010 This paper presents several classical mechanical systems with nonholonomic con- straints from the point of view of sub-Riemannian geometry. For those systems that satisfy the bracket generating condition the system can move continuously between any two given states.

Intrinsic fractional Taylor formula
Bruno Pini Mathematical Analysis Seminar, 2022 We consider a class of non-local ultraparabolic Kolmogorov operators and a suitable fractional Holder spaces that take into account the intrinsic sub-riemannian geometry induced by the operators.

Characteristic Laplacian in Sub-Riemannian Geometry [PDF]
International Mathematics Research Notices, 2015 We study a Laplacian operator related to the characteristic cohomology of a smooth manifold endowed with a distribution. We prove that this Laplacian does not behave very well: it is not hypoelliptic in general and does not respect the bigrading on forms in a complex setting.

Journal of Imaging, 2021 We present a novel cortically-inspired image completion algorithm. It uses five-dimensional sub-Riemannian cortical geometry, modeling the orientation, spatial frequency and phase-selective behavior of the cells in the visual cortex.

A Comprehensive Introduction to Sub-Riemannian Geometry [PDF]
, 2019 Sub-Riemannian geometry is the geometry of a world with nonholonomic constraints. In such a world, one can move, send and receive information only in certain admissible directions but eventually can reach every position from any other. In the last two decades sub-Riemannian geometry has emerged as an independent research domain impacting on several ...

Integral Formulas for a Foliation with a Unit Normal Vector Field
Mathematics, 2021 In this article, we prove integral formulas for a Riemannian manifold equipped with a foliation F and a unit vector field N orthogonal to F, and generalize known integral formulas (due to Brito-Langevin-Rosenberg and Andrzejewski-Walczak) for foliations ...

Journal of Function Spaces, 2021 The group of rigid motions of the Minkowski plane with a general left-invariant metric is denoted by E1,1,gλ1,λ2, where λ1≥λ2>0. It provides a natural 2-parametric deformation family of the Riemannian homogeneous manifold Sol3=E1,1,g1,1 which is the ...

Anisotropically Weighted and Nonholonomically Constrained Evolutions on Manifolds
Entropy, 2016 We present evolution equations for a family of paths that results from anisotropically weighting curve energies in non-linear statistics of manifold valued data. This situation arises when performing inference on data that have non-trivial covariance and
