Embeddedness and graphicality of the elastic flow for complete curves (2508.18979v1)
Published 26 Aug 2025 in math.AP and math.DG
Abstract: We study positivity-preserving properties for the elastic flow of non-compact, complete curves in Euclidean space. Despite the fact that the canonical elastic energy is infinite in this context, we extend our recent work based on the adapted elastic energy to derive nontrivial optimal thresholds for maintaining planar embeddedness and graphicality, respectively. We also obtain a new Li--Yau type inequality for complete planar curves.
