Principal curves are defined as parametric curves passing through the "middle" of a probability distribution in R^d. In addition to the original definition based on self-consistency, several points of view have been considered among which a…

Recently Andrews and Bryan [3] discovered a comparison function which allows them to shorten the classical proof of the well-known fact that the curve shortening flow shrinks embedded closed curves in the plane to a round point. Using this…

We consider a minimizing movement scheme of Chambolle type for the mean curvature flow equation with prescribed contact angle condition in a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq2$). We prove that an approximate solution…

We establish a sharp rate of convergence for a free-boundary curve shortening flow in a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ which converges in finite time to a round half-point.

This paper aims to investigate the evolution problem for planar curves with singularities. Motivated by the inverse curvature flow introduced by Li and Wang (Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 62 (2023), No. 135), we intend to consider the…

We prove that curve shortening flow on the round sphere displays sharp chord-arc improvement, precisely as in the planar setting (Andrews and Bryan, Comm. Anal. Geom., 2011). As in the planar case, the sharp estimate implies control on the…
