Optimal control of symmetry-breaking dynamics near criticality
Pearson W. Miller
We study the problem of optimal control for dynamical systems near a pitchfork bifurcation, motivated by the role of external cues in guiding symmetry-breaking transitions in cell-…

Generation and motion of interfaces in a mass-conserving reaction-diffusion system
Pearson W. Miller, Daniel Fortunato, Matteo Novaga +2
Reaction-diffusion models with nonlocal constraints naturally arise as limiting cases of coupled bulk-surface models of intracellular signalling. In this paper, a minimal, mass-con…

Geometry of wave propagation on active deformable surfaces
Pearson W. Miller, Norbert Stoop, Jörn Dunkel
Fundamental biological and biomimetic processes, from tissue morphogenesis to soft robotics, rely on the propagation of chemical and mechanical surface waves to signal and coordina…
