Abstract

The Seifert–Langer theory of the relaxation dynamics of a one-component bilayer lipid membrane was extended to include a term that involves the gradient of the area per lipid molecule in the bilayer free energy per molecule. The extended theory is applicable over length scales comparable with the membrane thickness.
