Abstract: We define a manifold M where objects cinM are curves, which we parameterize as c:S1oRn (nge2, S1 is the circle). Given a curve c, we define the tangent space TcM of M at c including in it all deformations h:S1oRn of c. In this paper we study geometries on the manifold of curves, provided by Sobolev--type metrics Hj. We study Hj type metrics for the cases j=1,2; we prove estimates, and characterize the completion of the space of smooth curves. As a bonus, we prove that the Fr'echet distance of curves (see arXiv:math.DG/0312384) coincides with the distance induced by the ``Finsler Linfinity metric defined in S2.2 in arXiv:math.DG/0412454.
