The Möbius energy is an example of a knot energy, so-called since it is invariant under Möbius transformations. It has been shown that it is defined on the fractional Sobolev space, where it can be decomposed into three parts, each of which retains the Möbius invariance. These results hold not only for knots in three-dimensional Euclidean space but also for closed curves embedded inn-dimensional Euclidean space. It has already been obtained that the variational formulae of the decomposed energies for both curves and their variations are in the same fractional Sobolev space. A formal integration by parts implies that the formulae extend to linear forms for variationals inif the curve is in. Such a linear form is called the-gradient. In this paper, we confirm this expectation, and give an explicit expression of the-gradient for the decomposed Möbius energies including all lower-order terms.
