We consider compact connected minimal surfaces, with a pair of boundary curves (not necessarily convex) in distinct planes, that have least-area amongst all orientable surfaces with the same boundary. When the planes containing these two…
We show that every convex ancient solution of mean curvature flow with Type I curvature growth is either spherical, cylindrical, or planar. We then prove the corresponding statement for flows by a natural class of curvature functions which…
