The study of passive scalar transport in a turbulent velocity field leads naturally to the notion of generalized flows which are families of probability distributions on the space of solutions to the associated ODEs, which no longer satisfy…

In this note we construct new nonplanar ancient (in fact, eternal) solutions to the curve shortening flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$, built out of translating grim reapers laying in perpendicular planes.

There exist rotationally symmetric translating solutions to mean curvature flow that can be written as a graph over Euclidean space. This result is well-known. Its proof uses the symmetry and techniques from partial differential equations.…

This paper is devoted to classical variational problems for planar elastic curves of clamped endpoints, so-called Euler's elastica problem. We investigate a straightening limit that means enlarging the distance of the endpoints, and obtain…

General equations are derived for slow viscous thin fluid film flows on curved surfaces through an extension of Leal's pedagogical approach, which leaves the characteristic velocity scale unspecified and employs a direct through-thickness…

Variational inference relies on flexible approximate posterior distributions. Normalizing flows provide a general recipe to construct flexible variational posteriors. We introduce Sylvester normalizing flows, which can be seen as a…

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…

We construct an ancient solution to planar curve shortening. The solution is at all times compact and embedded. For $t\ll0$ it is approximated by the rotating Yin-Yang soliton, truncated at a finite angle $\alpha(t) = -t$, and closed off by…

Closed loop solitons in a plane, whose curvatures obey the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, were investigated. It was shown that their tangential vectors are expressed by ratio of Weierstrass sigma functions for genus one case and ratio…

In this paper we obtain rigidity results and obstructions on the topology at infinity of translating solitons of the mean curvature flow in the Euclidean space. Our approach relies on the theory of f-minimal hypersurfaces.

We study the inverse curve shortening flow in the hyperbolic plane $\h^2$. We classify all solitons with respect to parabolic and conformal vector fields of $\h^2$. In the upper half-plane model of $\h^2$, we prove that parabolic solitons…

In this work, we study graphs in $\M^n\times\Real$ that are evolving by the mean curvature flow over a bounded domain on $\M^n$, with prescribed contact angle in the boundary. We prove that solutions converge to translating surfaces in…

We present a generic solution to the fundamental problem of how to connect two points in a plane by a smooth curve that goes through these points with a given slope. The smoothness of any curve depends both on its curvature and its length.…

We investigate a mean curvature flow obtained via elliptic regularization, and prove that it is not only a Brakke flow, but additionally a generalized BV flow proposed by Stuvard and Tonegawa. In particular, we show that the change in…
