Abstract: A numerical scheme for computing arc-length parametrized curves of low bending energy that are confined to convex domains is devised. The convergence of the discrete formulations to a continuous model and the unconditional stability of an iterative scheme are addressed. Numerical simulations confirm the theoretical results and lead to a classification of observed optimal curves within spheres.
