Asymptotics under self-intersection for minimizers of self-avoiding energies

A knot energy is a real-valued function on a space of curves which in some sense assigns higher energy values to more complicated curves. The key property of any knot energy is self-repulsiveness: for a sequence of curves approaching a self-intersection, the energy blows up to infinity. While the st...
