We prove Ilmanen's resolution of point singularities conjecture by establishing short-time smoothness of the level set flow of a smooth hypersurface with isolated conical singularities. This shows how the mean curvature flow evolves through…
We provide a well-posedness theory for a class of nonlocal continuity equations on co-evolving graphs. We describe the connection among vertices through an edge weight function and we let it evolve in time, coupling its dynamics with the…
The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to establish sufficient conditions under which the mean curvature flow supported on a hypersphere with exterior Dirichlet boundary exists globally in time and converges to a minimal surface,…
We consider the area preserving curve shortening flow with Neumann free boundary conditions outside of a convex domain or at a straight line. We give a criterion on initial curves that guarantees the appearance of a singularity in finite…
The paper examines one-dimensional total variation flow equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Thanks to a new concept of "almost classical" solutions we are able to determine evolution of facets -- flat regions of solutions. A key…
We consider compact convex hypersurfaces contracting by functions of their curvature. Under the mean curvature flow, uniformly convex smooth initial hypersurfaces evolve to remain smooth and uniformly convex, and contract to points after…
We consider the problem of evolving hypersurfaces by mean curvature flow in the presence of obstacles, that is domains which the flow is not allowed to enter. In this paper, we treat the case of complete graphs and explain how the approach…
In this paper we introduce two $1/\kappa^{n}$-type ($n\ge1$) curvature flows for closed convex planar curves. Along the flows the length of the curve is decreasing while the enclosed area is increasing. And finally, the evolving curves…
This paper aims at building a unified framework to deal with a wide class of local and nonlocal translation-invariant geometric flows. First, we introduce a class of generalized curvatures, and prove the existence and uniqueness for the…
We investigate the evolution of axis ratios, roundness (isoperimetric ratio) and the number of static balance points under distance-driven flows. The latter have already been proposed by Aristotle as models of particle shape evolution and…
Long time existence and convergence to a circle is proved for radial graph solutions to a mean curvature type curve flow in warped product surfaces (under a weak assumption on the warp potential of the surface). This curvature flow…
This paper proposes direct and inverse results for the Dirichlet and Dirichlet to Neumann problems for complex curves with nodal type singularities. As an application, we give a method to reconstruct the conformal structure of a compact…
We derive pointwise curvature estimates for graphical mean curvature flows in higher codimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such estimates without assuming smallness of first derivatives of the defining map. An…
In this paper, we systemally study the long time behavior of the curve shortening flow in a closed or non-compact complete locally Riemannian symmetric manifold. Assume that we have a global flow. Then we can exhibit a a limit for the…
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 $(M^3_w,\:g_w,\:\xi)$ where the density $\xi$…
In this article we study Chen's flow of curves from theoreical and numerical perspectives. We investigate two settings: that of closed immersed $\omega$-circles, and immersed lines satisfying a cocompactness condition. In each of the…
We present and analyze a semi-discrete finite element scheme for a system consisting of a geometric evolution equation for a curve and a parabolic equation on the evolving curve. More precisely, curve shortening flow with a forcing term…
We establish the existence of hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and a prescribed boundary in Euclidean space, represented as radial graphs over domains of the unit sphere. Under the assumptions that the mean curvature of the…
We study the geometric flow of a planar curve driven by its curvature and the normal derivative of its capacity potential. Under a convexity condition that is natural to our problem, we establish long term existence and large time…
In the first part of the paper we survey some nonlocal flows of convex plane curves ever studied so far and discuss properties of the flows related to enclosed area and length, especially the isoperimetric ratio and the isoperimetric…
