Mean curvature
In mathematics, the mean curvature H of a surface S is an ''extrinsic'' measure of curvature that comes from differential geometry and that locally describes the curvature of an embedded surface in some ambient space such as Euclidean space.
The concept was introduced by Sophie Germain in her work on elasticity theory.〔Marie-Louise Dubreil-Jacotin on (Sophie Germain )〕 It is important in the analysis of minimal surfaces, which have mean curvature zero, and in the analysis of physical interfaces between fluids (such as soap films) which by the Young–Laplace equation have constant mean curvature.
==Definition==
Let p be a point on the surface S. Each plane through p containing the normal line to S cuts S in a (plane) curve. Fixing a choice of unit normal gives a signed curvature to that curve. As the plane is rotated (always containing the normal line) that curvature can vary, and the maximal curvature \kappa_1 and minimal curvature \kappa_2 are known as the ''principal curvatures'' of S.
The mean curvature at p\in S is then the average of the principal curvatures , hence the name:
:H = (\kappa_1 + \kappa_2).
More generally , for a hypersurface T the mean curvature is given as
:H=\frac\sum_^ \kappa_.
More abstractly, the mean curvature is the trace of the second fundamental form divided by ''n'' (or equivalently, the shape operator).
Additionally, the mean curvature H may be written in terms of the covariant derivative \nabla as
:H\vec = g^\nabla_i\nabla_j X,
using the ''Gauss-Weingarten relations,'' where X(x) is a smoothly embedded hypersurface, \vec a unit normal vector, and g_ the metric tensor.
A surface is a minimal surface if and only if the mean curvature is zero. Furthermore, a surface which evolves under the mean curvature of the surface S, is said to obey a heat-type equation called the mean curvature flow equation.
The sphere is the only embedded surface of constant positive mean curvature without boundary or singularities. However, the result is not true when the condition "embedded surface" is weakened to "immersed surface".〔http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS/Repository/1.0/Disseminate?view=body&id=pdf_1&handle=euclid.pjm/1102702809〕
