We show that the anisotropic curvature energy fulfills a Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality and use this knowledge to derive stability results for the flow. Precisely, in our main theorem we show that for any initial data, which are C^(2,α)-close to a (local) energy minimizer, the flow exists globally and converges to a possibly different energy minimum.Curve shorteningAnisotropic & nonlocal flowsStability & uniquenessPhase fields & multiphase flows
