Variational properties of the total inverse mean curvature in the plane under boundary constraints
Abstract
We study the variational behavior of the total inverse mean curvature of curves with prescribed boundary in the half-plane. We characterize the existence of critical points with prescribed area. We show that such critical points are strongly stable. As an application, we prove a local minimality property.
