Description

Abstract:

In this talk I will discuss the classical variational problem of Euler's elastica, a mathematical model of elastic curves introduced by D. Bernoulli and studied by L. Euler in the 18th century, and also new mathematical challenges with an emphasis on the effect of self-intersections.
