Configurations of fluid membranes and vesicles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the systematic physical theory developed to understand the static and dynamic aspects of membrane and vesicle configurations, and the preferred shapes arise from a competition between curvature energy which derives from the bending elasticity of the membrane, geometrical constraints such as fixed surface area and fixed enclosed volume, and a signature of the bilayer aspect.

Mobility and elasticity of self-assembled membranes.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide the first explicit connection between computer simulations with molecular resolution and elastic membrane models based on differential geometry, in which they show that elastic membranes are rather mobile and have rough surfaces arising from molecular protrusions, from the relative displacements of individual molecules.

Biological and synthetic membranes: What can be learned from a coarse-grained description?
TL;DR: Applications of coarse-grained models to changes of the membrane topology are illustrated with studies of membrane fusion utilizing simulations and self-consistent field theory.
Causal architecture, complexity and self-organization in time series and cellular automata
TL;DR: This work develops computational mechanics for four increasingly sophisticated types of process—memoryless transducers, time series, transducers with memory, and cellular automata, and proves the optimality and uniqueness of the e-machine's representation of the causal architecture, and gives reliable algorithms for pattern discovery.

Self-consistent-field theories for complex fluids
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in off-lattice self-consistent field theories for inhomogeneous complex fluids is presented, with particular emphasis on the treatment of intermolecular interactions and compressibility, the role of fluctuations, and the discussion of the coarse-graining length inherent to the theory.
