In this paper, we study a curve flow which preserves the anisotropic length of the evolving curve, and show that for any convex closed initial curve, the flow exists for all time and the evolving curve converges to a homothety of the…

We show the existence of a smooth solution for the flow deformed by the square root of the scalar curvature multiplied by a positive anisotropic factor $\psi$ given a strictly convex initial hypersurface in Euclidean space suitably pinched.…

We revise the steady vortex surface theory following the recent finding of asymmetric vortex sheets (AM,2021). These surfaces avoid the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability by adjusting their discontinuity and shape. The vorticity collapses to the…

We describe the variation of the number $N(t)$ of spatial critical points of smooth curves (defined as a scalar distance $r$ from a fixed origin $O$) evolving under curvature-driven flows. In the latter, the speed $v$ in the direction of…

In this article, we first investigate the kinematics of specific geodesic flows on two dimensional media with constant curvature, by explicitly solving the evolution (Raychaudhuri) equations for the expansion, shear and rotation along the…

We consider a flow by powers of Gauss curvature under the obstruction that the flow cannot penetrate a prescribed region, so called an obstacle. For all dimensions and positive powers, we prove the optimal curvature bounds of solutions and…

We consider the Cauchy problem of the viscous $\beta$-plane equations. We first establish the global well-posedness of the system for the initial data sufficiently small compared to the Rossby parameter. The smoothing effect of the flow is…

We show the uniqueness of strictly convex closed smooth self-similar solutions to the $\alpha$-Gauss curvature flow with $(1/n) < \alpha < 1+(1/n)$. We introduce a Pogorelov type computation, and then we apply the strong maximum principle.…

A recent article by Li and Lv considered fully nonlinear contraction of convex hypersurfaces by certain nonhomogeneous functions of curvature, showing convergence to points in finite time in cases where the speed is a function of a…

We show that strictly convex surfaces contracting with normal velocity equal to |A|^2 shrink to a point in finite time. After appropriate rescaling, they converge to spheres. We indicate how we used a computer to find the main test…

We show that the surface area preserving mean curvature flow in Euclidean space exists for all time and converges exponentially to a round sphere, if initially the L^2-norm of the traceless second fundamental form is small (but the initial…

We consider the evolution by mean curvature of smooth $n$-dimensional submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ which are compact and quadratically pinched. We will be primarily interested in flows of high codimension, the case $k\geq 2$. We prove…

It is classically known that complete flat surfaces in Euclidean 3-space are cylinders over space curves. This implies that the study of global behaviour of flat surfaces requires the study of singular points as well. If a flat surface $f$…

We first establish existence for all positive time near equilibrium for the moving interface problem between the Navier-Stokes equations for the evolving fluid phase (moved by the fluid velocity) and an elastic body modelled by the linear…

This paper concerns the evolution of a closed hypersurface of dimension $n(\geq 2)$ in the Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$ under a mixed volume preserving flow. The speed equals a power $\beta (\geq 1)$ of homogeneous, either convex or…

We derive local $C^{2}$ estimates for complete non-compact translating solitons of the Gauss curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are graphs over a convex domain $\Omega$. This is closely is related to deriving local $C^{1,1}$ estimates…

For the minimal graph with strict convex level sets, we find an auxiliary function to study the Gaussian curvature of the level sets. We prove that this curvature function is a concave function with respect to the height of the minimal…

An explicit expression is obtained for the sectional curvature in the plane spanned by two stationary flows, cos(k, x) and cos(l, x). It is shown that for certain values of the wave vectors k and l the curvature becomes positive for alpha >…

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}…

We prove a weighted a priori energy estimate for the two dimensional water-waves problem with contact points in the absence of gravity and surface tension. When the surface graph function and its time derivative have some decay near the…
