The affine curve-lengthening flow
Ben Andrews
Abstract:
The motion of any smooth closed convex curve in the plane in the
direction of steepest increase of its affine arc length can be
continued smoothly for all time. The evolving curve remains
strictly convex while expanding to infinite size and approaching a
homothetically expanding ellipse.
