چکیده
We show that the Willmore ow for smoothly immersed initial surfaces has eternal solutions in a weak sense, which are smooth except at nitely many times. Furthermore we study the set of singularities of such a weak solution.

متن کاملEXACT SOLUTIONS FOR FLOW OF A SISKO FLUID IN PIPE
By means of He's homotopy perturbation method (HPM) an approximate solution of velocity eld is derived for the ow in straight pipes of non-Newtonian uid obeying the Sisko model. The nonlinear equations governing the ow in pipe are for- mulated and analyzed, using homotopy perturbation method due to He. Furthermore, the obtained solutions for velocity eld is graphically sketched...
متن کاملAnalysis Aspects of Willmore Surfaces
Abstract : We found a new formulation to the Euler-Lagrange equation of the Willmore functional for immersed surfaces in R. This new formulation of Willmore equation appears to be of divergence form, moreover, the nonlinearities are made of jacobians. Additionally to that, if ~ H denotes the mean curvature vector of the surface, this new form writes L ~ H = 0 where L is a well defined locally i...
متن کاملA numerical scheme for axisymmetric solutions of curvature driven free boundary problems, with applications to the Willmore flow
We present a numerical scheme for axisymmetric solutions to curvature driven moving boundary problems governed by a local law of motion, e.g. the mean curvature flow, the surface diffusion flow, and the Willmore flow. We then present several numerical experiments for the Willmore flow. In particular, we provide numerical evidence that the Willmore flow can develop singularities in finite time.
متن کاملLocal Palais-Smale Sequences for the Willmore Functional
Using the reformulation in divergence form of the EulerLagrange equation for the Willmore functional as it was developed in the second author’s paper [Riv2], we study the limit of a local Palais-Smale sequence of weak Willmore immersions with locally square-integrable second fundamental form. We show that the limit immersion is smooth and that it satisfies the conformal Willmore equation: it is...
