Abstract: We generalize the notion of integral Menger curvature introduced by Gonzalez and Maddocks by decoupling the powers in the integrand. This leads to a new two-parameter family of knot energies $int{M}^{p,q}$. We classify finite-energy curves in terms of Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces. Moreover, restricting to the range of parameters leading to a sub-critical Euler-Lagrange equation, we prove existence of minimizers within any knot class via a uniform bi-Lipschitz bound. Consequently, $int{M}^{p,q}$ is a knot energy in the sense of O'Hara. Restricting to the non-degenerate sub-critical case, a suitable decomposition of the first variation allows to establish a bootstrapping argument that leads to $C^{infty}$-smoothness of critical points.
