Abstract:

We investigate the asymptotic stability of the length--penalized elastic flow of curves with boundary points constrained to the x-axis in $\mathbb R^2$. The main tool in our analysis is the Lojasiewicz-Simon inequality, which is used to prove that the flow smoothly converges to an elastica.

Keywords: Geometric evolution, elastic energy, stability, Lojasiewicz-Simon inequality
