In this sequence of two papers, we introduce a curvature flow on (mixed) weighted graphs which is based on the Bakry-\'Emery calculus. The flow is described via a time-continuous evolution through the weighting schemes. By adapting this…

This work is a follow-up on the work of the second author with P. Daskalopoulos and J.L. V\'{a}zquez. In this latter work, we introduced the Yamabe flow associated to the so-called fractional curvature and prove some existence result of…

For a $k$-dimensional Brakke flow on an open subset $U \subset \mathbf{R}^{n}$, over an open time interval $J$, we prove the existence of a canonical space-time-Grassmann measure $\lambda$, over $J \times \mathbf{G}_{k} (U)$, and give a…
