Infinite Periodic Discrete Minimal Surfaces without Self-intersections

چکیده
A triangulated piecewise-linear minimal surface in Euclidean 3space 3 defined using a variational characterization is critical for area amongst all continuous piecewise-linear variations with compact support that preserve the simplicial structure. We explicitly construct examples of such surfaces that are embedded and are periodic in three independent directions of .

1 Unstable periodic discrete minimal surfaces
In this paper we define the new alignment energy for non-conforming triangle meshes, and describes its use to compute unstable conforming discrete minimal surfaces. Our algorithm makes use of the duality between conforming and non-conforming discrete minimal surfaces which was observed earlier. In first experiments the new algorithm allows us the computation of unstable periodic discrete minima...
متن کاملThe Crystallography of the Hyperbolic Plane and Infinite Periodic Minimal Surfaces
Infinite periodic minimal surfaces are being now introduced to describe some complex structures with large cells, formed by inorganic and organic materials, which can be considered as crystals of surfaces or films. Among them are the spectacular cubic liquid crystalline structures built by amphiphilic molecules in presence of water. We study here the crystallographic properties of these surface...
متن کاملWeierstrass Representation of Periodic Minimal Surfaces
A general algorithm for the construction of infinite periodic minimal surfaces (IPMS) via their Weierstrass function is outlined, enabling parameterisation of known examples, and forming the bases of a systematic search for all such surfaces. For the 'regular' class of IPMS (including the low genus surfaces) the Weierstrass function has a simple form, permitting a complete listing of all possib...
متن کاملSelf-intersections of Closed Parametrized Minimal Surfaces in Generic Riemannian Manifolds
This article shows that for a generic choice of Riemannian metric on a compact manifold M of dimension at least five, all prime compact parametrized minimal surfaces within M are imbeddings. Moreover, if M has dimension four, all prime compact parametrized minimal surfaces within M have transversal self-interstions, and at any self-intersection the tangent planes fail to be complex for any choi...
متن کاملComputing Discrete Minimal Surfaces and Their Conjugates
We present a new algorithm to compute stable discrete minimal surfaces bounded by a number of Þxed or free boundary curves in R, S and H. The algorithm makes no restriction on the genus and can handle singular triangulations. For a discrete harmonic map a conjugation process is presented leading in case of minimal surfaces additionally to instable solutions of the free boundary value problem fo...
