Bounds of total curvature and entropy are two common conditions placed on mean curvature flows. We show that these two hypotheses are equivalent for the class of ancient complete embedded smooth planar curve shortening flows, which are…

We prove that a closed immersed plane curve with total curvature $2\pi m$ has entropy at least $m$ times the entropy of the embedded circle, as long as it generates a type I singularity under the curve shortening flow (CSF). We construct…

We consider curve shortening flow of arbitrary codimension in an Euclidean background. We show that, close to a singularity, the flow is asymptotically planar, paralleling Altschuler's work in the case of space curves, and analyse the…

In this paper we prove that a certain class of embedded unknotted curves in $\mathbb{R}^3$ evolving under curve shortening flow do not form singularities Type II before collapsing to a point. Our proof uses tools of the minimal surface…

We show that any smooth closed immersed curve in $\mathbb R^n$ with a one-to-one convex projection onto some $2$-plane develops a Type~I singularity and becomes asymptotically circular under Curve Shortening flow in $\mathbb R^n$. As an…

We establish necessary conditions for a regular curve to lie on a circular cylinder in terms of its curvature $\kappa$ and torsion $\tau$. By identifying a fundamental function $\psi = \sin^2 \alpha$, representing the squared sine of the…

In this paper, we study a $1/\kappa^{n}$-type area-preserving non-local flow of convex closed plane curves for any $n>0$. We show that the flow exists globally, the length of evolving curve is non-increasing, and the limiting curve will be…

In this paper, we prove that an ancient smooth curve shortening flow with finite-entropy embedded in $\mathbb{R}^2$ has a unique tangent flow at infinity. To this end, we show that its rescaled flows backwardly converge to a line with…

In this paper we introduce two $1/\kappa^{n}$-type ($n\ge1$) curvature flows for closed convex planar curves. Along the flows the length of the curve is decreasing while the enclosed area is increasing. And finally, the evolving curves…

In the article, we generalize some recent results of Colding and Minicozzi on generic singularities of mean curvature flow to curved ambient spaces. To do so, we make use of a weighted monotonicity formula to derive an "almost monotonicity"…

Under mean curvature flow, a closed, embedded hypersurface $M(t)$ becomes singular in finite time. For certain classes of mean-convex mean curvature flows, we show the continuity of the first singular time $T$ and the limit set "$M(T)$",…
