Abstract
A mean-field theory is presented for the coarsening of a two-dimensional soap-film network. This theory explains (1) the correlation between area and number of sides of the cells, and (2) the anomalous absence of dynamical scaling laws, which is shown to have its origin in the topological constraint of a space-filling network.Keywords
