文摘

A systematic computational framework for capturing icosahedron symmetric equilibria of lipid bilayer vesicles is proposed. Subdivision surface finite element method and symmetry reduction method are at the core of our framework. Parameter spaces are explored using numerical bifurcation/continuation methods.
