A gradient flow for the p-elastic energy defined on closed planar curves

Abstract: We study the evolution of closed inextensible planar curves under a second order flow that decreases the p-elastic energy. A short time existence result for pin(1,infty) is obtained via a minimizing movements method. For p=2, that is in the case of the classic elastic energy, long-time existence is retrieved.
