We show that strictly convex surfaces expanding by the inverse Gauss curvature flow converge to infinity in finite time. After appropriate rescaling, they converge to spheres. We describe the algorithm to find our main test function.
In this paper, we prove the short-time existence of hyperbolic inverse (mean) curvature flow (with or without the specified forcing term) under the assumption that the initial compact smooth hypersurface of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$…
The boundary conditions at the deformable interface between two contacting fluids are derived for the general case of the large-amplitude perturbations. The interface is modeled as perturbed free boundary that evolves in time, and the…
We establish the well-posedness of the nonlocal mean curvature flow of order ${\alpha\in(0,1)}$ for periodic graphs on $\mathbb{R}^n$ in all subcritical little H\"older spaces ${\rm h}^{1+\beta}(\mathbb{T}^n)$ with $\beta\in(0,1)$.…
We introduce a reflected chord-arc profile for curves with orthogonal boundary condition and obtain a chord-arc estimate for embedded free boundary curve shortening flows in a convex planar domain. As a consequence, we are able to prove…
The envelope of straight lines affine normal to a plane curve C is its affine evolute; the envelope of the affine lines tangent to C is the original curve, together with the entire affine tangent line at each inflexion of C. In this paper,…
Evolving smooth, compact hypersurfaces in R^{n+1} with normal speed equal to a positive power k of the mean curvature improves a certain 'isoperimetric difference' for k >= n-1. As singularities may develop before the volume goes to zero,…
Suppose curves are moving by curvature in a plane, but one embeds the plane in $R^3$ and looks at the plane from an angle. Then circles shrinking to a round point would appear to be ellipses shrinking to an ``elliptical point,'' and the…
In this article, we study a locally constrained mean curvature flow for star-shaped hypersurfaces with capillary boundary in the half-space. We prove its long-time existence and the global convergence to a spherical cap. Furthermore, the…
A recent article by the first two authors together with B Andrews and V-M Wheeler considered the so-called `ideal curve flow', a sixth order curvature flow that seeks to deform closed planar curves to curves with least variation of total…
In this paper, the general formulation for inextensible flows of curves on oriented surface in $\mathbb{R}^3 $ is investigated. The necessary and sufficient conditions for inextensible curve flow lying an oriented surface are expressed as a…
We describe the evolution under the mean curvature flow of embedded Lagrangian spherical surfaces in the complex Euclidean plane $\mathbb{C}^2$. In particular, we answer the Question 4.7 addressed in [Ne10b] by A. Neves about finding out a…
We consider a family of nonlocal curvatures determined through a kernel which is symmetric and bounded from above by a radial and radially non-increasing profile satisfying an integrability condition. It turns out that such definition…
A finite element method for the evolution of a two-phase membrane in a sharp interface formulation is introduced. The evolution equations are given as an $L^2$--gradient flow of an energy involving an elastic bending energy and a line…
We consider the Gauss curvature type flow for uniformly convex hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}\ (n\geqslant 2)$. We prove that if the initial closed hypersurface is smooth and uniformly convex, then the smooth…
In this paper, we investigate the evolution of spacelike curves in Lorentz-Minkowski plane $\mathbb{R}^{2}_{1}$ along prescribed geometric flows (including the classical curve shortening flow or mean curvature flow as a special case), which…
We introduce a non-local $L^2$-gradient flow for the Willmore energy of immersed surfaces which preserves the isoperimetric ratio. For spherical initial data with energy below an explicit threshold, we show long-time existence and…

This paper deals with locally constrained inverse curvature flows in a broad class of Riemannian warped spaces. For a certain class of such flows we prove long time existence and smooth convergence to a radial coordinate slice. In the case…
We introduce the shifted inverse curvature flow in hyperbolic space. This is a family of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space expanding by $F^{-p}$ with positive power $p$ for a smooth, symmetric, strictly increasing and $1$-homogeneous…
