In this paper, we develop a min-max theory for the construction of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature in an arbitrary closed manifold. As a corollary, we prove the existence of a nontrivial, smooth,…

We consider contracting and expanding curvature flows in $\Ss$. When the flow hypersurfaces are strictly convex we establish a relation between the contracting hypersurfaces and the expanding hypersurfaces which is given by the Gau{\ss}…

Wang, Weng and Xia[Math. Ann. 388 (2024), no. 2] studied a mean curvature type flow for the smooth, embedded capillary hypersurfaces with a constant contact angle $\theta\in(0,\pi)$ and confirmed the existence of solutions by the standard…
