Abstract

We consider the flow of closed convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1} with speed given by a power of the kk-th mean curvature EkE_k plus a global term chosen to impose a constraint involving the enclosed volume Vn+1V_{n+1} and the mixed volume Vn+1kV_{n+1-k} of the evolving hypersurface. We prove that if the initial hypersurface is strictly convex, then the solution of the flow exists for all time and converges to a round sphere smoothly. No curvature pinching assumption is required on the initial hypersurface.
