Obstacle problems for the elastic flow and related topics
Abstract
In this note, we study an obstacle problem for the elastic flow. We prove the local-in-time existence of weak solutions and discuss their relation to classical solutions when additional regularity is obtained. Related results concerning obstacle problems for the bending energy are also collected.
