On the Sadowsky functional for anisotropic ribbons
Giovanni Savaré
The equilibrium shape of a thin, elastic, inextensible ribbon minimizes its bending energy. It has been shown that, as the width of the ribbon tends to zero, the bending energy Gam…

Crystalline Motion of discrete interfaces in the Blume-Emery-Griffiths Model: partial wetting
Marco Cicalese, Giuliana Fusco, Giovanni Savaré
We continue the variational study of the discrete-to-continuum evolution of lattice systems of Blume-Emery-Griffith type which model two immiscible phases in the presence of a surf…

Crystalline motion of discrete interfaces in the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model
Marco Cicalese, Giuliana Fusco, Giovanni Savaré
We study the discrete-to-continuum evolution of a lattice system consisting of two immiscible phases labelled by -1 and +1 in presence of a surfactant phase labelled by 0. The syst…
