48 results for weighted area functional

In this paper we study the functional $\SW_{λ_1,λ_2}$, which is the the sum of the Willmore energy, λ1λ_1-weighted surface area, and λ2λ_2-weighted volume, for surfaces immersed in R3\R^3. This coincides with the Helfrich functional with zero `spontaneous curvature'. Our main result is a complete classification of all …
