In this paper we study the generalized mean curvature flow of sets in the sub-Riemannian geometry of Carnot groups. We extend to our context the level sets method and the weak (viscosity) solutions introduced in the Euclidean setting by…
It is known that there is a strong relation between the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation and the mean curvature flow, in the sense that the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation can be considered as a ``diffused" mean curvature flow. In this work,…
We prove Gaussian upper and lower bounds for the fundamental solutions of a class of degenerate parabolic equations satisfying a weak Hormander condition. The bound is independent of the smoothness of the coefficients and generalizes…
The conformal flow of metrics [2] has been used to successfully establish a special case of the Penrose inequality, which yields a lower bound for the total mass of a spacetime in terms of horizon area. Here we show how to adapt the…
We introduce and study generalized $1$-harmonic equations (1.1). Using some ideas and techniques in studying $1$-harmonic functions from [W1] (2007), and in studying nonhomogeneous $1$-harmonic functions on a cocompact set from [W2, (9.1)]…
In this paper we study the the Gauss image problem, which is a generalization of the Aleksandrov problem in convex geometry. By considering a geometric flow involving Gauss curvature and functions of normal vectors and radial vectors, we…
In this article, we study a locally constrained fully nonlinear curvature flow for convex capillary hypersurfaces in half-space. We prove that the flow preserves the convexity, exists for all time, and converges smoothly to a spherical cap.…
In this paper we present a mathematical analysis for a steady-state laminar boundary layer flow, governed by the Ostwald-de Wael power-law model of an incompressible non- Newtonian fluid past a semi-infinite power-law stretched flat plate…
We prove a differential Harnack inequality for noncompact convex hypersurfaces flowing with normal speed equal to a symmetric function of their principal curvatures. This extends a result of Andrews for compact hypersurfaces. We assume that…
By using a coupling method, an explicit log-Harnack inequality with local geometry quantities is established for (sub-Markovian) diffusion semigroups on a Riemannian manifold (possibly with boundary). This inequality as well as the…
In the present paper, we obtain some gradient estimates for positive solutions to the following nonlinear parabolic equation under general geometric flow on complete noncompact manifolds.
We show that the mean curvature flow of generic closed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ avoids asymptotically conical and non-spherical compact singularities. We also show that the mean curvature flow of generic closed low-entropy hypersurfaces…
We study the Gauss curvature equation with negative singularities. For a local mean field type equation with only one negative index we prove a uniqueness property. For a global equation with one or two negative indexes we prove the…
We consider natural conformal invariants arising from the Gauss-Bonnet formulas on manifolds with boundary, and study conformal deformation problems associated to them. The key technique we used is to derive boundary C^2 estimates directly…
In this paper, we investigate two hyperbolic flows obtained by adding forcing terms in direction of the position vector to the hyperbolic mean curvature flows in \cite{klw,hdl}. For the first hyperbolic flow, as in \cite{klw}, by using…
In this paper we study the Type IIb mean curvature flow. We first prove that if the convex entire graph $(y,u(|y|))$ over $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, satisfying there exist positive constants $\epsilon$, $c$ and $N$ such that $ u'(r)\geq c…
Recently, L. Guth improved the restriction estimate for the surfaces with strictly positive Gaussian curvature in R3. In this paper we generalize his restriction estimate to the surfaces with strictly negative Gaussian curvature.
In this paper we study the geometry of first time singularities of the mean curvature flow. By the curvature pinching estimate of Huisken and Sinestrari, we prove that a mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space $\R^{n+1}$…
A homogenization approach is proposed for the treatment of porous wall boundary conditions in the computation of compressible viscous flows. Like any other homogenization approach, it eliminates the need for pore-resolved fluid meshes and…
