A second order gradient flow of p-elastic planar networks (1905.06742v2)
Published 16 May 2019 in math.AP
Abstract: We consider a second order gradient flow of the p-elastic energy for a planar theta-network of three curves with fixed lengths. We construct a weak solution of the flow by means of an implicit variational scheme. We show long-time existence of the evolution and convergence to a critical point of the energy.
