Blow-up rates for the general curve shortening flow

Analysis of PDEs 2010-01-19 v2 Differential Geometry

Abstract

The blow-up rates of derivatives of the curvature function will be presented when the closed curves contract to a point in finite time under the general curve shortening flow. In particular, this generalizes a theorem of M.E. Gage and R.S. Hamilton about mean curvature flow in R2\mathbb{R}^{2}.
