The curvature blows up

80 Views Asked by At

A curve evolves according to the evolution equation $\displaystyle\frac{\partial X}{\partial t}= k \times N$ where $k$ is the curvature of the curve and $N$ is the inward unit normal vector.

Then why when we hit a singulatity during the evolution process does the curvature $k $ blow up and tend to infinity ? We can consider if you want a convex plane curve.
