Environmental bias and elastic curves on surfaces
J Guven, DM Valencia… - Journal of Physics A …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The behavior of an elastic curve bound to a surface will reflect the geometry of its
environment. This may occur in an obvious way: the curve may deform freely along …

Generating true minima in constrained variational formulations via modified lagrange multipliers
Variational principles are important in the investigation of large classes of physical systems.
They can be used both as analytical methods as well as starting points for the formulation of …
