Concentration effects and $I^$ -limit for the elastica functional for open and closed curves

Giovanni Bellettini, Virginia Lorenzini, Matteo Novaga +1

We study the $I^$ -convergence of a class of elastica-type energies defined on immersed planar curves and depending on a small positive parameter $I^µ$ . As $I^µ \to 0^{+}$ , sequences wit…

A fourth-order regularization of the curvature flow of immersed plane curves with Dirichlet boundary conditions

Giovanni Bellettini, Virginia Lorenzini, Matteo Novaga +1

We consider a fourth-order regularization of the curvature flow for an immersed plane curve with fixed boundary, using an elastica-type functional depending on a small positive par…

Crystalline elastic flow of polygonal curves: long time behaviour and convergence to stationary solutions

Giovanni Bellettini, Shokhrukh Yu. Kholmatov, Matteo Novaga

Given a planar crystalline anisotropy, we study the crystalline elastic flow of immersed polygonal curves, possibly also unbounded. Assuming that the segments evolve by parallel tr…
