At a 3/2-cusp of a given plane curve $\gamma(t)$, both of the Euclidean curvature $\kappa_g$ and the affine curvature $\kappa_A$ diverge. In this paper, we show that each of $\sqrt{|s_g|}\kappa_g$ and $(s_A)^2 \kappa_A$ (called the…

We study curve-shortening flow for twisted curves in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (i.e., curves with nowhere vanishing curvature $\kappa$ and torsion $\tau$) and define a notion of torsion-curvature entropy. Using this functional, we show that either the…
