Free-filament variance with fixed translation and tilt ($\mathrm{Var}h(x)=\frac{k_{B}T{L}^3}{A}P(x/L)$)

For the frame fixed by zero mean height and zero first height moment, the variance profile is $P(u)=1/105-11u/105+13u^2/35-u^3/3-u^4/3+3u^5/5-u^6/5$. It obeys $P(1-u)=P(u)$, $P(0)=1/105$ and $P(1/2)=1/320$. Integrating a white noise curvature field twice, subtracting its affine projection and integrating the squared kernel proves the profile. These free-end conditions must not be confused with physically clamping the ends.
