For the area-preserving flow, the positivity of the enclosed algebraic area determines whether the curvature blows up in finite time or not, while for the length-preserving flow, it is the positivity of an energy associated with initial curve that plays such a role.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-16T09:52:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44" ], "keywords": [ "locally convex closed curves", "nonlocal curvature flows", "initial curve", "finite time", "enclosed algebraic area determines" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
