The Łojasiewicz-Simon inequality for the elastic flow

Abstract: We define the elastic energy of smooth immersed closed curves in mathbbRn as the sum of the length and the L2-norm of the curvature, with respect to the length measure. We prove that the L2-gradient flow of this energy smoothly converges asymptotically to a critical point. One of our aims was to the present the application of a Lojasiewicz-Simon inequality, which is at the core of the proof, in a quite concise and versatile way.
