    Abstract

    In this brief communication, we demonstrate an implicit exact stationary solution to the fully nonlinear local induction equation describing the motion of a vortex filament. The solution, which is periodic in the spatial variable, is governed by a second-order nonlinear equation that has two exact first integrals.
