General equations are derived for slow viscous thin fluid film flows on curved surfaces through an extension of Leal's pedagogical approach, which leaves the characteristic velocity scale unspecified and employs a direct through-thickness…

This article deals with flow of plane curves driven by the curvature and external force. We make use of such a geometric flow for the purpose of image segmentation. A parametric model for evolving curves with uniform and curvature adjusted…

In this work we investigate the existence of weak solutions for steady flows of generalized incompressible and homogeneous viscous fluids. The problem is modeled by the steady case of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations, where the…

We show that the mean curvature flow of a generic closed surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ avoids multiplicity one tangent flows that are not round spheres/cylinders. In particular, we show that any non-cylindrical self-shrinker with a cylindrical…

We introduce a new geometric flow of Hermitian metrics which evolves an initial metric along the second derivative of the Chern scalar curvature. The flow depends on the choice of a background metric, it always reduces to a scalar equation…

We consider a general formulation of gradient flow evolution for problems whose natural framework is the one of metric spaces. The applications we deal with are concerned with the evolution of {\it capacitary measures} with respect to the…

We study a Neumann problem related to the evolution of graphs under mean curvature flow in Riemannian manifolds endowed with a Killing vector field. We prove that in a particular case these graphs converge to a bounded minimal graph which…

In this paper, we prove that if $M_t\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $2\leq n\leq 6$, is the $n$-dimensional closed embedded $\mathcal{F}-$stable solution to mean curvature flow with mean curvature of $M_t$ is uniformly bounded on $[0,T)$ for…

In this note we generalize an extension theorem in [5] and [9] of the mean curvature flow to the H^{k} mean curvature flow under some extra conditions. The main difficult problem in proving the extension theorem is to find a suitable…

The aim of this paper is to introduce a notion of mean curvature flow soliton general enough to encompass target spaces of constant sectional curvature, Riemannian products or, in increasing generality, warped product spaces.

This is not in any way meant to be a complete survey on positive curvature. Rather it is a short essay on the fascinating changes in the landscape surrounding positive curvature. In particular, details and many results and references are…

We elaborate on the existing idea that quantum mechanics is an emergent phenomenon, in the form of a coarse-grained description of some underlying deterministic theory. We apply the Ricci flow as a technical tool to implement dissipation,…
