We prove that smooth convex $\alpha$-noncollapsed ancient mean curvature flow satisfies a quantitative curvature estimate $H(y,t)\leq CH(x,t)(H(x,t)|x-y|+1)^2$ for any pair of $x,y$. In other words, the rescaled curvature grows at most…

The evolution of a closed two-dimensional surface driven by both mean curvature flow and a reaction--diffusion process on the surface is formulated into a system, which couples the velocity law not only to the surface partial differential…
