Abstract

In this paper we establish a general form of the isoperimetric inequality for immersed closed curves (possibly non-convex) in the plane under rotational symmetry. As an application we obtain a global existence result for the surface diffusion flow, providing that an initial curve is H2H^2-close to a multiply covered circle and sufficiently rotationally symmetric.
