The method proposed by T. I. Zelenjak is applied to the mean curvature flow in the plane. A new type of monotonicity formula for star-shaped curves is obtained.

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"…
