Abstract:We prove the analyticity of smooth critical points for generalized integral Menger curvature energies intM (p,2) , with p ∈ ( 7 3 , 8 3 ), subject to a fixed length constraint. This implies, together with already well-known regularity results, that finite-energy, critical C 1 -curves γ : R/Z → R n of generalized integral Menger curvature intM (p,2) subject to a fixed length constraint are not only C ∞ but also analytic. Our approach is inspired by analyticity results on critical points for O'Hara's knot ener… Show more
