Long Time Existence of Solutions to an Elastic Flow of Networks
Harald Garcke, Julia Menzel, Alessandra Pluda
The --gradient flow of the elastic energy of networks leads to a Willmore type evolution law with nontrivial nonlinear boundary conditions. We show local in time existence and…

Willmore Flow of planar networks
Harald Garcke, Julia Menzel, Alessandra Pluda
Geometric gradient flows for elastic energies of Willmore type play an important role in mathematics and in many applications. The evolution of elastic curves has been studied in d…
