On the generalised ideal flow of closed planar curves
For m ≥ 1 the only critical points of the m-ideal energy on closed planar curves are round multiply-covered circles, and the associated L²-gradient flows converge exponentially to these circles from W^{2,2} initial data below a curvature-oscillation threshold.
