Large-time behavior of the $H^{-m}$-gradient flow of length for closed plane curves

Abstract

We consider the $H^{-m}$-gradient flow of length for closed plane curves. This flow is a generalization of curve diffusion flow. We investigate the large-time behavior assuming the global existence of the flow. Then we show that the evolving curve converges exponentially to a circle. To do this, we use interpolation inequalities between the deviation of curvature and the isoperimetric ratio, recently established by Nagasawa and the author.
