In this paper, we begin to explore the evolution of curves of the projective plane according to a family of intrinsic equations generalizing a projective heat equationn 1]. This is motivated by previous work for the Euclidean 2, 3, 4] and the aane case 5, 6, 7, 8] as well as by applications in the perception of two-dimensional shapes. We establish the projective arclength evolution and the proj...
