We prove that, for a generic set of smooth prescription functions $h$ on a closed ambient manifold, there always exists a nontrivial, smooth, closed hypersurface of prescribed mean curvature $h$. The solution is either an embedded minimal…

We prove that sufficiently low-entropy closed hypersurfaces can be perturbed so that their mean curvature flow encounters only spherical and cylindrical singularities. Our theorem applies to all closed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with…

We first demonstrate that the area preserving mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in space forms exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to a round sphere if the integral of the traceless second fundamental form is…

This paper concerns the evolution of complete noncompact locally uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean space by curvature flow, for which the normal speed $\Phi$ is given by a power $\beta\geq 1$ of a monotone symmetric and homogeneous…

In [21] the evolution of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with normal speed equal to a power $k>1$ of the mean curvature is considered and the levelset solution $u$ of the flow is obtained as the $C^0$-limit of a sequence $u^{\epsilon}$…

We discuss notions of Gauss curvature and mean curvature for polyhedral surfaces. The discretizations are guided by the principle of preserving integral relations for curvatures, like the Gauss/Bonnet theorem and the mean-curvature force…
