Moving surfaces by non-concave curvature functions

Differential Geometry 2010-02-14 v2 Analysis of PDEs

Abstract

A convex surface contracting by a strictly monotone, homogeneous degree one function of curvature remains smooth until it contracts to a point in finite time, and is asymptotically spherical in shape. No assumptions are made on the concavity of the speed as a function of principal curvatures.
