  • In this thesis, the method of geometric flow is applied to prove the existence of global solutions to the problem of nonlinear spline interpolations for closed/non-closed curves and the problem of area-constrained planar elasticae with free boundaries on a straight line. Among them, this method applies the theory of either fourth-order parabolic PDEs/PDE or second-order parabolic PDEs/PDE with certain imposed boundary conditions. The results of this study demonstrate the existence of global solutions and sub-convergence of the elastic flow. Furthermore, the geometric flow method provides a new approach to the problem of nonlinear spline interpolations.
