Completeness and Geodesic Distance Properties for Fractional Sobolev Metrics on Spaces of Immersed Curves
{{output}}
We investigate the geometry of the space of immersed closed curves equipped with reparametrization-invariant Riemannian metrics; the metrics we consider are Sobolev metrics of possible fractional-order q∈[0,∞). We establish the critical Sobolev ind... ...
