Existence theory for geometric flow of space curves
Is there any existence theory applicable to general geometric flows of space curves in the following form?
$$
\partial_t \gamma = v_t t + v_n n + v_b b
$$
Here $\gamma$ is the evolving curve, $t$, $n$ ...

Interesting geometric flow of space curves with non-vanishing torsion
Recently, while thinking about CMC surfaces, I came up with an interesting geometric flow for curves in $\mathbb{R}^3$ given by
\begin{equation}
\partial_t \gamma = \tau^{-\frac{1}{2}} n,
\end{...
