Elastica on 2-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. (English) Zbl 1211.53027

Summary: We derive differential equations for non-null elastic curves on 2-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. Then, we solve these differential equations in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. Also, we give a relation between curvature and torsion of elastic curve on 2-dimensional anti-de Sitter space.
