    Description
We study the length-preserving elastic flow in arbitrary codimension with free boundary on hypersurfaces. This constrained gradient flow is given by a nonlocal evolution equation with nonlinear higher-order boundary conditions. We discuss how a suitable non-flatness assumption ensures global existence and subconvergence to critical points.
This is joint work with Manuel Schlierf.
