Abstract

In this paper we study an anisotropic expanding flow of smooth, closed, uniformly convex hypersurfaces in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} with speed ψσk(λ)α\psi\sigma_k(\lambda)^{\alpha}, where α\alpha is a positive constant, σk(λ)\sigma_k(\lambda) is the kk-th elementary symmetric polynomial of the principal radii of curvature and ψ\psi is a preassigned positive smooth function defined on Sn\mathbb{S}^n. We prove that under some assumptions of ψ\psi, the solution to the flow after normalisation exists for all time and converges smoothly to a solution of the well-known LpL^p Christoffel-Minkowski problem u1p(x)σk(2u+uI)=cψ(x)u^{1-p}( x ) \sigma_k \left( \nabla^2u+uI\right)=c\psi(x) for p>1p>1.
