This paper is the first part of an ongoing project aimed at providing a local minimality criterion, based on a second variation approach, for the triple point configurations of the Mumford-Shah functional.

We perform a calculation of the first and second order infinitesimal variations, with respect to energy, of the Boltzmann entropy of constant energy hypersurfaces of a system with a finite number of degrees of freedom. We comment on the stability interpretation of the second variation in this framework.

AbstractWe prove that balls centered at the origin and with small radius are stable local minimizers of the Gaussian perimeter among all symmetric sets. Precisely, using the second variation of the Gaussian perimeter, we show that if the radius is smaller than{\sqrt{n+1}}, then the ball is a local minimizer, while if it is larger, the ball is not a local minimizer.

We investigate a second order infinitesimal bending of curves in a three-dimensional Euclidean space in this paper. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the vector fields to be infinitesimal bending fields of the corresponding order, as well as explicit formulas which determine these fields. We examine the first and the second variation of some geometric magnitudes which describe a curve, specially a change of the curvature. Two illustrative examples (a circle and a helix) are studied not only analytically but also by drawing curves using computer program Mathematica.

AbstractWe establish a local minimality sufficiency criterion, based on the strict positivity of the second variation, in the context of a variational model for the epitaxial growth of elastic films. Our result holds also in the three-dimensional case and for a general class of nonlinear elastic energies. Applications to the study of the local minimality of flat morphologies are also shown.

AbstractWe consider a non-local isoperimetric problem arising as the sharp interface limit of the Ohta–Kawasaki free energy introduced to model microphase separation of diblock copolymers. We perform a second order variational analysis that allows us to provide a quantitative second order minimality condition. We show that critical configurations with positive second variation are indeed strict local minimizers of the problem. Moreover, we provide, via a suitable quantitative inequality of isoperimetric type, an estimate of the deviation from minimality for configurations close to the minimum in the

In this paper, we consider infinitesimal bending of the second-order of curves and knots. The total curvature of the knot during the second-order infinitesimal bending is discussed and expressions for the first and the second variation of the total curvature are given. Some examples aimed to illustrate infinitesimal bending of knots are shown using figures. Colors are used to illustrate curvature values at different points of bent knots and the total curvature is numerically calculated.
