Critical bifurcations in deformable membrane necks under inhomogeneous curvature: constriction frustration vs. abscissional elongation
Catenoid necks, as minimal surfaces with zero mean curvature (K=0), minimize bending energy and serve as geometric scaffolds for scissional membrane remodeling. We apply the Canham–Helfrich model of flexible membranes to analyze deformable spontaneous curvature (K0), a key regulator of membrane scis...
