Particles and biomembranes : a variational PDE approach

We examine mathematical models for small deformations of membranes. First we review physically well-established models, posed in the Monge gauge, from a mathematical perspective. We produce a variational framework in which well posedness can be studied and finite element methods applied. The methods...
