Abstract
We study the problem of -loops, namely closed curves in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, with prescribed curvature and torsion . We state a necessary condition for the existence of a bounded sequence of -loops when the functions and converge to the constants 1 and 0, respectively. Moreover we prove some Fredholm-type properties for the “unperturbed” problem, with and .
