Deformation minimal bending of compact manifolds: case of simple closed curves
The problem of minimal distortion bending of smooth compact embedded connected Riemannian \(n\)-manifolds \(M\) and \(N\) without boundary is made precise by defining a deformation energy functional \(\Phi\) on the set of diffeomorphisms \(\text{Diff}(M,N)\). We derive the Euler-Lagrange equation fo...
