<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We consider an unconditional fully discrete finite element scheme for a nematic liquid crystal flow with different kinematic transport properties. We prove that the scheme converges towards a unique critical point of the elastic energy subject to the finite element subspace, when the number of time steps go to infinity while the time step and mesh size are fixed. A Lojasiewicz type inequality, which is the key for getting the time asymptotic convergence of the whole sequence furnished by the numerical scheme, is also derived.</p>

Abstract We consider the numerical approximation of axisymmetric mean curvature flow with the help of linear finite elements. In the case of a closed genus-1 surface we derive optimal error bounds with respect to the $L^2$- and $H^1$-norms for a fully discrete approximation. We perform convergence experiments to confirm the theoretical results and also present numerical simulations for some genus-0 and genus-1 surfaces, including for the Angenent torus.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow (MCF). By imposing conditions associated with the mean curvature of the initial hypersurface and the coefficient function of the forcing term of a forced MCF, and some special pinching conditions on the second fundamental form of the initial hypersurface, we prove that the first nonzero closed eigenvalues of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator are monotonic under the forced MCF, respectively, which partially generalize Mao and Zhao’s work. Moreover, we give an example to specify applications of conclusions obtained above.

Abstract Let F_{n} : (Σ, h_{n} ) \to \mathbb{C}^{2} be a sequence of conformally immersed Lagrangian self-shrinkers with a uniform area upper bound to the mean curvature flow, and suppose that the sequence of metrics \{ h_{n} \} converges smoothly to a Riemannian metric h. We show that a subsequence of \{ F_{n} \} converges smoothly to a branched conformally immersed Lagrangian self-shrinker F_{\infty} : (Σ, h) \to \mathbb{C}^{2} . When the area bound is less than 16π, the limit {F_{\infty}} is an embedded torus. When the genus of Σ is one, we can drop the assumption on convergence h_{n} \to h. When the genus of Σ is zero, we show that there is no branched immersion of Σ as a Lagrangian self-shrinker, generalizing the rigidity result of [21] in dimension two by allowing branch points.
