Abstract: The Harnack inequalities of a family of closed convex equi-affine curves based on equi-affine curve shortening flow were studied. Firstly, according to the geometric evolution property of the equi-affine curve, a new type of Harnack quantity on the closed convex equi-affine curve was defined, then the evolution equation about the Harnack quantity of the closed convex equi-affine curve was discovered. Secondly, by the maximum principle, the non-negativity of the Harnack quantity, i.e., the Harnack inequality of the closed convex equi-affine curve, was investigated. Moreover, the constraint conditions of parameters in the Harnack quantity were found. Then, the Hamilton’s Harnack inequality of the closed convex equi-affine curve was further explored using the newly defined Harnack quantity.Finally, the classical Harnack inequality was derived based on Harnack inequality of the closed convex equi-affine curve and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.
