Learning the Willmore flow with a lightweight neural operator

Elie Bretin, Roland Denis, Tokuhiro Eto +1

We extend to the Willmore flow the phase-field neural operator approach proposed by Bretin, Denis, Masnou, and Terii (2022) for mean curvature motion in two and three dimensions. T…

Approximate mean curvature flows of a general varifold, and their limit spacetime Brakke flow

Blanche Buet, Gian Paolo Leonardi, Simon Masnou +1

We propose a construction of mean curvature flows by approximation for very general initial data, in the spirit of the works of Brakke and of Kim & Tonegawa based on the theory of…

Turing patterns on polymerized membranes: a coarse-grained lattice modelling with internal degree of freedom for polymer direction

F. Kato, H. Koibuchi, E. Bretin +6

We numerically study Turing patterns (TPs) on two-dimensional surfaces with a square boundary in using a surface model for polymerized membranes. The variables used to…

A Cahn--Hilliard--Willmore phase field model for non-oriented interfaces

Elie Bretin, Antonin Chambolle, Simon Masnou

We investigate a new phase field model for representing non-oriented interfaces, approximating their area and simulating their area-minimizing flow. Our contribution is related to…

A penalized Allen-Cahn equation for the mean curvature flow of thin structures

Elie Bretin, Chih-Kang Huang, Simon Masnou

This paper addresses the approximation of the mean curvature flow of thin structures for which classical phase field methods are not suitable. By thin structures, we mean surfaces…

A mobility-SAV approach for a Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobilities

Elie Bretin, Luca Calatroni, Simon Masnou

A novel numerical strategy is introduced for computing approximations of solutions to a Cahn-Hilliard model with degenerate mobilities. This model has recently been introduced as a…

Learning phase field mean curvature flows with neural networks

Elie Bretin, Roland Denis, Simon Masnou +1

We introduce in this paper new and very effective numerical methods based on neural networks for the approximation of the mean curvature flow of either oriented or non-orientable s…

Approximation of multiphase mean curvature flows with arbitrary nonnegative mobilities

Eric Bonnetier, Elie Bretin, Simon Masnou

This paper is devoted to the robust approximation with a variational phase field approach of multiphase mean curvature flows with possibly highly contrasted mobilities. The case of…

A multiphase Cahn-Hilliard system with mobilities and the numerical simulation of dewetting

Elie Bretin, Roland Denis, Simon Masnou +2

We propose in this paper a new multiphase Cahn-Hilliard model with doubly degenerate mobilities. We prove by a formal asymptotic analysis that it approximates with second order acc…

Approximation of surface diffusion flow: a second order variational Cahn--Hilliard model with degenerate mobilities

Elie Bretin, Simon Masnou, Arnaud Sengers +1

This paper tackles the approximation of surface diffusion flow using a Cahn--Hilliard-type model. We introduce and analyze a new second order variational phase field model which as…

Connected perimeter of planar sets

François Dayrens, Simon Masnou, Matteo Novaga +1

We introduce a notion of connected perimeter for planar sets defined as the lower semi-continuous envelope of perimeters of approximating sets which are measure-theoretically conne…

Weak and approximate curvatures of a measure: a varifold perspective

Blanche Buet, Gian Paolo Leonardi, Simon Masnou

By revisiting the notion of generalized second fundamental form originally introduced by Hutchinson for a special class of integral varifolds, we define a weak curvature tensor tha…

Higher-Order Total Directional Variation: Analysis

Simone Parisotto, Simon Masnou, Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb

We analyse a new notion of total anisotropic higher-order variation which, differently from the Total Generalized Variation by Bredies et al., quantifies for possibly non-symmetric…

Higher-Order Total Directional Variation: Imaging Applications

Simone Parisotto, Jan Lellmann, Simon Masnou +1

We introduce a class of higher-order anisotropic total variation regularisers, which are defined for possibly inhomogeneous, smooth elliptic anisotropies, that extends the Total Ge…

Multiphase mean curvature flows with high mobility contrasts: a phase-field approach, with applications to nanowires

Elie Bretin, Alexandre Danescu, José Penuelas +1

The structure of many multiphase systems is governed by an energy that penalizes the area of interfaces between phases weighted by surface tension coefficients. However, interface…

Blanche Buet, Gian Paolo Leonardi, Simon Masnou

We show that the theory of varifolds can be suitably enriched to open the way to applications in the field of discrete and computational geometry. Using appropriate regularizations…
