On length measures of planar closed curves and the comparison of convex shapes (Q824398)

In this paper, the authors present some results regarding the theory of planar curves lengths. First, the authors prove an isoperimetric characterization of the unique convex curve associated to some length measure given by the Minkowski-Fenchel-Jessen theorem. Then, they investigate the problem of constructing a distance with associated geodesic paths between convex planar curves. In this respect, they introduce a new distance on the space of length measures that corresponds to a constrained variant of the Wasserstein metric of optimal transport, and with this the authors investigated the distance between convex curves. Another important result from this paper is the primal-dual algorithm, which allow a numerically computation of these distances and geodesics.
