We consider a planar geometric flow in which the normal velocity is a nonlocal variant of the curvature. The flow is not scaling invariant and in fact has different behaviors at different spatial scales, thus producing phenomena that are…
We study the null curves and their motion in a $3$-dimensional flat space-time $M_{3}$. We show that when the motion of null curves forms two surfaces in $M_{3}$ the integrability conditions lead to the well-known AKNS hierarchy. In this…
