Surface mapping plays an important role in geometric processing. They induce both area and angular distortions. If the angular distortion is bounded, the mapping is called a {\it quasi-conformal} map. Many surface maps in our physical world…
In general, gradient estimates are very important and necessary for deriving convergence results in different geometric flows, and most of them are obtained by analytic methods. In this paper, we will apply a stochastic approach to…
This paper studies normalized Ricci flow on a nonparabolic surface, whose scalar curvature is asymptotically -1 in an integral sense. By a method initiated by R. Hamilton, the flow is shown to converge to a metric of constant scalar…
We study the combinatorial Calabi flow for ideal circle patterns in both hyperbolic and Euclidean background geometry. We prove that the flow exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to an ideal circle pattern metric on surfaces…
Self-shrinkers model singularities of the mean curvature flow; they are defined as the special solutions that contract homothetically under the flow. Colding-Ilmanen-Minicozzi showed that cylindrical self-shrinkers are rigid in a strong…
We consider classical curvature flows: 1-parameter families of convex embeddings of the 2-sphere into Euclidean 3-space which evolve by an arbitrary (non-homogeneous) function of the radii of curvature. The associated flow of the radii of…
It is the purpose of this article to establish a technical tool to study regularity of solutions to parabolic equations on manifolds. As applications of this technique, we prove that solutions to the Ricci-DeTurck flow, the surface…

We prove that if a rescaled mean curvature flow is a global graph over the round cylinder with small gradient and converges super-exponentially fast, then it must coincide with the cylinder itself. We also show that the result is sharp with…
Generalized circle packings were introduced in \cite{Ba-Hu-Sun} as a generalization of tangential circle packings in hyperbolic background geometry. In this paper, we introduce the combinatorial Calabi flow, fractional combinatorial Calabi…
We consider a general curvature equation $F(\kappa)=G(X,\nu(X))$, where $\kappa$ is the principal curvature of the hypersurface $M$ with position vector $X$. It includes the classical prescribed curvature measures problem and area measures…
We design strategies in nonlinear geometric analysis to temper the effects of adversarial learning for sufficiently smooth data of numerical method-type dynamics in encoder-decoder methods, variational and deterministic, through the use of…
In this note we study conformal Ricci flow introduced by Arthur Fischer. We use DeTurck's trick to rewrite conformal Ricci flow as a strong parabolic-elliptic partial differential equations. Then we prove short time existences for conformal…
We establish convergence results for a spatial semidiscretization of Mean Curvature Flow (MCF) for surfaces with fixed boundaries. Our analysis is based on Huisken's evolution equations for the mean curvature and the normal vector, enabling…
In this paper, we consider the Ricci flow with prescribed curvature on the finite graph $G=(V,E)$. For any $e$ in $E$, $$\frac{d\omega(t,e)}{dt} = -(\kappa(t,e)-\kappa^*(e))\omega(t,e), t > 0,$$ where $\omega$ is the weight function,…
