In the 1950's Hopf gave examples of non-round convex 2-spheres in Euclidean 3-space with rotational symmetry that satisfy a linear relationship between their principal curvatures. In this paper we investigate conditions under which evolving…

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…
We consider a compact, star-shaped, mean convex hypersurface $\Sigma^2\subset \mathbb{R}^3$. We prove that in some cases the flow exists until it shrinks to a point in a spherical manner, which is very typical for convex surfaces as well…

In this paper, we study a class of non-homogeneous anisotropic fully nonlinear curvature flows in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. More precisely, we consider a hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ deformed by a flow along its unit normal with its…
In this paper we investigate the flow of surfaces by a class of symmetric functions of the principal curvatures with a mixed volume constraint. We consider compact surfaces without boundary that can be written as a graph over a sphere. The…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact manifold without boundary whose first homology is nontrivial. Hodge decomposition of the incompressible Euler's equation in terms of 1-forms yields a coupled PDE-ODE system. The $L^2$-orthogonal components are a…
Under mean radius of curvature flow, a closed convex surface in Euclidean space is known to expand exponentially to infinity. In the 3-dimensional case we prove that the oriented normals to the flowing surface converge to the oriented…
We consider embedded hypersurfaces evolving by fully nonlinear flows in which the normal speed of motion is a homogeneous degree one, concave or convex function of the principal curvatures, and prove a non-collapsing estimate: Precisely,…
In this paper we introduce a new geometric flow with rotational invariance and prove that, under this kind of flow, an arbitrary smooth closed contractible hypersurface in the Euclidean space Rn+1 (n, 1) converges to Sn in the C1-topology…
In this paper we establish a general form of the isoperimetric inequality for immersed closed curves (possibly non-convex) in the plane under rotational symmetry. As an application we obtain a global existence result for the surface…
