Abstract

In this paper, by using new auxiliary functions, we study a class of contracting flows of closed, star-shaped hypersurfaces in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} with speed rαβσk1βr^{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}}\sigma_k^{\frac{1}{\beta}}, where σk\sigma_k is the kk-th elementary symmetric polynomial of the principal curvatures, α\alpha, β\beta are positive constants and rr is the distance from points on the hypersurface to the origin. We obtain convergence results under some assumptions of kk, α\alpha, β\beta. When k2k\geq2, 0<β10<\beta\leq 1, αβ+k\alpha\geq \beta+k, we prove that the kk-convex solution to the flow exists for all time and converges smoothly to a sphere after normalization, in particular, we generalize Li-Sheng-Wang's result from uniformly convex to kk-convex. When k2k \geq 2, β=k\beta=k, α2k\alpha \geq 2k, we prove that the kk-convex solution to the flow exists for all time and converges smoothly to a sphere after normalization, in particular, we generalize Ling Xiao's result from k=2k=2 to k2k \geq 2.
