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…

We consider two types of $p$-centro affine flows on smooth, centrally symmetric, closed convex planar curves, $p$-contracting, respectively, $p$-expanding. Here $p$ is an arbitrary real number greater than 1. We show that, under any…

We study the evolution of star-shaped sets in volume preserving mean curvature flow. Constructed by approximate minimizing movements, our solutions preserve a strong version of star-shapedness. We also show that the solutions converges to a…

We prove that in the absence of topological changes, the notion of BV solutions to planar multiphase mean curvature flow does not allow for a mechanism for (unphysical) non-uniqueness. Our approach is based on the local structure of the…

In Cardaliaguet-Ley (2006) we have defined a viscosity solution for the gradient flow of the exterior Bernoulli free boundary problem. We prove here that the associated energy is non decreasing along the flow. This justifies the "gradient…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of families of gradient flows in a general metric setting, when the metric-dissipation potentials degenerate in the limit to a dissipation with linear growth. We present a general variational definition of…

Analytic methods show stability of the stationary accretion of test fluids but they are inconclusive in the case of self-gravitating stationary flows. We investigate numerically stability of those stationary flows onto compact objects that…

This paper is concerned with radially symmetric solutions of systems of the form \[ u_t = -\nabla V(u) + \Delta_x u \] where space variable $x$ and and state-parameter $u$ are multidimensional, and the potential $V$ is coercive at infinity.…

We investigate for the first time the curve shortening flow in the metric-affine plane and prove that under simple geometric condition it shrinks a closed convex curve to a "round point" in finite time. This generalizes the classical result…

We study solutions of the mean curvature flow which are defined for all negative curvature times, usually called ancient solutions. We give various conditions ensuring that a closed convex ancient solution is a shrinking sphere. Examples of…
