Nonlocal Delaunay surfaces (Q272721): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors develop a nonlocal analog of the classical Delaunay surface, a surface with constant curvature. The authors begin with establishing a notation standard for the paper, then opens with the introduction of a fractional parameter functional, shows that it is periodic, and that the functional is minimized among periodic, decreasing, and symmetrical surfaces. The effort of this paper is to extend the classical structure of Delaunay surfaces to the nonlocal domain since this can lead the nonlocal object to inherit some of the properties of the classical form.
