Polar tangential angles and free elasticae

  • Received: 13 April 2020 Accepted: 29 April 2020 Published: 21 August 2020
  • In this note we investigate the behavior of the polar tangential angle of a general plane curve, and in particular prove its monotonicity for certain curves of monotone curvature. As an application we give (non)existence results for an obstacle problem involving free elasticae.
