Abstract

We consider a one-parameter family of strictly convex hypersurfaces in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} moving with speed Kαν- K^\alpha \nu, where ν\nu denotes the outward-pointing unit normal vector and α1n+2\alpha \geq \frac{1}{n+2}. For α>1n+2\alpha > \frac{1}{n+2}, we show that the flow converges to a round sphere after rescaling. In the affine invariant case α=1n+2\alpha=\frac{1}{n+2}, our arguments give an alternative proof of the fact that the flow converges to an ellipsoid after rescaling.
