In this paper we study the curvature flow of a curve in a plane endowed with a minkowskian norm whose unit ball is smooth. We show that many of the properties known in the euclidean case can be extended (with due adaptations) to this new…

The evolution of a rotationally symmetric surface by a linear combination of its radii of curvature equation is considered. It is known that if the coefficients form certain integer ratios the flow is smooth and can be integrated…
This article deals with flow of plane curves driven by the curvature and external force. We make use of such a geometric flow for the purpose of image segmentation. A parametric model for evolving curves with uniform and curvature adjusted…
In this paper we classify convex compact ancient solutions to the affine curve shortening flow: namely, any convex compact ancient solution to the affine curve shortening flow must be a shrinking ellipse. The method combines a rescaling…
We consider the motion by curvature of a network of smooth curves with multiple junctions in the plane, that is, the geometric gradient flow associated to the length functional. Such a flow represents the evolution of a two--dimensional…
In this paper, we derive a number of interesting properties and extensions of the convex flow problem from the perspective of convex geometry. We show that the sets of allowable flows always can be imbued with a downward closure property,…

Hyperbolic curvature flow is a geometric evolution equation that in the plane can be viewed as the natural hyperbolic analogue of curve shortening flow. It was proposed by Gurtin and Podio-Guidugli (1991) to model certain wave phenomena in…
