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.

Abstract We establish long-time existence for a projected Sobolev gradient flow of generalized integral Menger curvature in the Hilbert case and provide C 1 , 1 C^{1,1} -bounds in time for the solution that only depend on the initial curve. The self-avoidance property of integral Menger curvature guarantees that the knot class of the initial curve is preserved under the flow, and the projection ensures that each curve along the flow is parametrized with the same speed as the initial configuration. Finally, we describe how to simulate this flow numerically with substantially higher efficiency than in the corresponding numerical L 2 L^{2} gradient descent or other optimization methods.

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.
