In this article we study Chens flow of curves from theoreical and numerical perspectives. We investigate two settings: that of closed immersed $omega$-circles, and immersed lines satisfying a cocompactness condition. In each of the settings our goal is to find geometric conditions that allow us to understand the global behaviour of the flow: for the cocompact case, the condition is straightforward and the argument is largely standard. For the closed case however, the argument is quite complex. The flow shrinks every initial curve to a point if it does not become singular beforehand, and we must identify a condition to ensure this behaviour as well as identify the point in order to perform the requisite rescaling. We are able to successfully conduct a full analysis of the rescaling under a curvature condition. The analysis resembles the case of the mean curvature flow more than other fourth-order curvature flow such as the elastic flow or the curve diffusion flow, despite the lack of maximum and comparison principles. Our work is informed by a numerical study of the flow, and we include a section that explains the algorithms used and gives some further simulations.
In this paper we consider the steepest descent $L^2$-gradient flow of the entropy functional. The flow expands convex curves, with the radius of an initial circle growing like the square root of time. Our main result is that, for any initial curve (e
We study biharmonic hypersurfaces and biharmonic submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold. One of interesting problems in this direction is Chens conjecture which says that any biharmonic submanifold in a Euclidean space is minimal. From the invariant e
This chapter reviews some past and recent developments in shape comparison and analysis of curves based on the computation of intrinsic Riemannian metrics on the space of curves modulo shape-preserving transformations. We summarize the general constr
We develop the theory of fractional gradient flows: an evolution aimed at the minimization of a convex, l.s.c.~energy, with memory effects. This memory is characterized by the fact that the negative of the (sub)gradient of the energy equals the so-ca
In this paper, we consider the evolution of spacelike graphic curves defined over a piece of hyperbola $mathscr{H}^{1}(1)$, of center at origin and radius $1$, in the $2$ dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski plane $mathbb{R}^{2}_{1}$ along an anisotropic in
