AbstractIn this paper, we show an energy convexity and thus uniqueness for weakly intrinsic bi-harmonic maps from the unit 4-ball {B_{1}\subset\mathbb{R}^{4}} into the sphere {\mathbb{S}^{n}}. In particular, this yields a version of uniqueness of weakly harmonic maps on the unit 4-ball which is new. We also show a version of energy convexity along the intrinsic bi-harmonic map heat flow into {\mathbb{S}^{n}}, which in particular yields the long-time existence of the intrinsic bi-harmonic map heat flow, a result that was until now only known assuming the non-positivity of the target manifolds by Lamm [26]. Further, we establish the previously unknown result that the energy convexity along the flow yields uniform convergence of the flow.

Abstract For any given C2-smooth initial open curves with fixed position and fixed tangent at the boundary points, we obtain the long-time existence of smooth solutions under the second-order evolution of plane curves. Moreover, the asymptotic limit of a convergent subsequence is an inextensible elastica.

Abstract We consider closed curves on the sphere moving by the L2-gradient flow of the elastic energy both with and without penalisation of the length and show short-time and long-time existence of the flow. Moreover, when the length is penalised, we prove sub-convergence to critical points.
