摘要

Bounds of total curvature and entropy are two common conditions placed on mean curvature flows. We show that these two hypotheses are equivalent for the class of ancient complete embedded smooth planar curve shortening flows, which are one-dimensional mean curvature flows. As an application, we give a short proof of the uniqueness and classification of tangent flow at infinity of an ancient smooth complete non-compact curve shortening flow with finite entropy embedded in \(\mathbb {R}^2\) R 2 .
