We study the curve shortening flow on Riemann surfaces with finitely many conformal conical singularities. If the initial curve is passing through the singular points, then the evolution is governed by a degenerate quasilinear parabolic…

We present a characterization for the rotational soliton for the curve shortening flow (CSF) on the revolution surfaces of $\mathbb{R}^3$. Furthermore, we describe the behavior of such curves by showing that the two ends of each open curve…

We show that any smooth closed immersed curve in $\mathbb R^n$ with a one-to-one convex projection onto some $2$-plane develops a Type~I singularity and becomes asymptotically circular under Curve Shortening flow in $\mathbb R^n$. As an…

The behavior of the curve shortening flow has been extensively studied. Gage, Hamilton, and Grayson proved that, under the curve shortening flow, an embedded closed curve in the Euclidean plane becomes convex after a finite time and then…

We consider embedded, smooth curves in the plane which are either closed or asymptotic to two lines. We study their behaviour under curve shortening flow with a global forcing term. Firstly, we prove an analogue to Huisken's distance…

In this article, we extend Huisken's theorem that convex surfaces flow to round points by mean curvature flow. We construct certain classes of mean convex and non-mean convex hypersurfaces that shrink to round points and use these…

The curve shortening flow is a geometric heat equation for curves and provides an accessible setting to illustrate many important concepts from nonlinear partial differential equations, including maximum principle estimates, monotonicity…

Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold with a parallel 1-form $\Omega$. We prove two theorems about the curve shortening flow in $M$. One is that the {\csf} $\ct$ in $M$ exists for all $t$ in $[0, \infty)$, if it satisfies $\Omega(T)\geq…

We consider the mean curvature flow of compact convex surfaces in Euclidean $3$-space with free boundary lying on an arbitrary convex barrier surface with bounded geometry. When the initial surface is sufficiently convex, depending only on…

We prove that if the initial hypersurface of the mean curvature flow in spheres satisfies a sharp pinching condition, then the solution of the flow converges to a round point or a totally geodesic sphere. Our result improves the famous…

In this paper, we systemally study the long time behavior of the curve shortening flow in a closed or non-compact complete locally Riemannian symmetric manifold. Assume that we have a global flow. Then we can exhibit a a limit for the…

We revisit the well-known Curve Shortening Flow for immersed curves in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. We exploit a fundamental structure of the problem to derive a new global construction of a solution, that is, a construction that is…

We employ the curve shortening flow to establish three new results on the dynamics of geodesic flows of closed Riemannian surfaces. The first one is the stability, under $C^0$-small perturbations of the Riemannian metric, of certain flat…
