Spheres and prolate and oblate ellipsoids from an analytical solution of the spontaneous-curvature fluid-membrane model

An analytic solution for the Helfrich spontaneous curvature membrane model [H. Naito, M.Okuda, and Ou-Yang Zhong-Can, Phys. Rev. E 48, 2304 (1993); 54, 2816 (1996)], which has the conspicuous feature of representing a circular biconcave shape, is studied. Results show that the solution in fact descr...
