Curvature Functionals for Curves in the Equi-Affine Plane

Differential Geometry 2009-12-22 v1

Abstract

After having given the general variational formula for the functionals indicated in the title, the critical points of the integral of the equi-affine curvature under area constraint and the critical points of the full-affine arc-length are studied in greater detail.
