We consider the inverse curvature flows $\dot x=F^{-p}\nu$ of closed star-shaped hypersurfaces in Euclidean space in case $0<p\not=1$ and prove that the flow exists for all time and converges to infinity, if $0<p<1$, while in case $p>1$,…

We study a volume preserving curvature flow of convex hypersurfaces, driven by a power of the $k$-th elementary symmetric polynomial in the principal curvatures. Unlike most of the previous works on related problems, we do not require…

In [19], we prove that if an entire, spacelike, convex hypersurface $\mathcal{M}_{u_0}$ has bounded principal curvatures, then the $\sigma_k^{1/\alpha}$ (power of $\sigma_k$) curvature flow starting from $\mathcal{M}_{u_0}$ admits a smooth…
