Abstract

In the present paper we carry out a systematic study about the flow of a spherical curve by the mean curvature flow with density in a 3-dimensional rotationally symmetric space with density (Mw3,gw,ξ)(M^3_w,\:g_w,\:\xi) where the density ξ\xi decomposes as sum of a radial part φ\varphi and an angular part ψ\psi. We analyse how either the parabolicity or the hyperbolicity of (Mw3,gw)(M^3_w,\:g_w) condition the behaviour of the flow when the solution goes to infinity.
