Closed Trajectories of the conformal arclength functional
Full text linkThe purpose of this report is to give a brief overview of some results about the geometry of closed critical curves of a conformally invariant functional for space curve
Elastic curves and the Delaunay problem for curves with constant torsion
No full textIn this paper we investigate the critical points of the Delaunay functional for curves with constant torsion. We give an explicit description of the extrema in terms of Jacobi's elliptic function
