    On an inverse curvature flow in two-dimensional space forms

    We study the evolution of compact convex curves in two-dimensional space forms. The normal speed is given by the difference of the weighted inverse curvature with the support function, and in the case where th...

    A gradient flow for the p-elastic energy defined on closed planar curves

    We study the evolution of closed inextensible planar curves under a second order flow that decreases the p-elastic energy. A short time existence result for \(p \in (1, \infty ) \) p ∈ ( 1 , ∞ ) is obtained...

    Genetic tool development in marine protists: emerging model organisms for experimental cell biology

    Diverse microbial ecosystems underpin life in the sea. Among these microbes are many unicellular eukaryotes that span the diversity of the eukaryotic tree of life. However, genetic tractability has been limite...

    A rigidity theorem for ideal surfaces with flat boundary

    We consider surfaces with boundary satisfying a sixth-order nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation corresponding to extremising the \(L^2\)L2-norm of the gradient of the mean curvature. We show that suc...

    The Shrinking Figure Eight and Other Solitons for the Curve Diffusion Flow

    In this article we investigate the dynamics of special solutions to the surface diffusion flow of idealised ribbons. This reduces to studying the curve diffusion flow for the profile curve of the ribbon. We pr...
