We propose several modifications to the grid based particle method (GBPM) [21] for moving interface modeling. There are several nice features of the proposed algorithm. The new method can significantly improve the distribution of sampling particles on the evolving interface. Unlike the original GBPM where footpoints (sampling points) tend to cluster to each other, the sampling points in the new method tend to be better separated on the interface. Moreover, by replacing the grid-based discretization using the cell-based discretization, we naturally decompose the interface into segments so that we can easily approximate surface integrals. As a possible alternative to the local polynomial least square approximation, we also study a geometric basis for local reconstruction in the resampling step. We will show that such modification can simplify the overall implementations. Numerical examples in two- and three

Let M be a compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and mean convex boundary ∂M. Assume that the mean curvature H of the boundary ∂M satisfies H≥(n−1)k>0 for some positive constant k. In this paper, we prove that the distance function d to the boundary ∂M is bounded from above by 1/𝑘 and the upper bound is achieved if and only if M is isometric to an n-dimensional Euclidean ball of radius 1/𝑘.

The Cox rings of del Pezzo surfaces are closely related to the Lie groups En. In this paper, we generalize the definition of Cox rings to G-surfaces defined by us earlier, where the Lie groups G = An,Dn or En. We show that the Cox ring of a G-surface S is closely related to an irreducible representation V of G, and is generated by degree one elements. The Proj of the Cox ring of S is a sub-variety of the orbit of the highest weight vector in V , and both are closed sub-varieties of P(V ) defined by quadratic equations. The GIT quotient of the Spec of such a Cox ring by a natural torus action is considered.
