Abstract
We show that a certain non-local curvature flow for planar curves has non-trivial self-similar solutions with $n$-fold rotational symmetry, bifurcated from a trivial circular solution. Moreover, we show that the trivial solution is stable with respect to perturbations which keep the geometric center and the enclosed area, and that, for $n$ different from 3, the $n$-fold symmetric solution is stable with respect to perturbations which satisfy the same conditions as above and have the same symmetry as the solutions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
