Given a smooth positive function $F\in C^{\infty}(\mathbb{S}^n)$ such that the square of its positive $1$-homogeneous extension on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\setminus \{0\}$ is uniformly convex, the Wulff shape $W_F$ is a smooth uniformly convex…

We show short-time existence for curves driven by curve diffusion flow with a prescribed contact angle $\alpha \in (0, \pi)$: The evolving curve has free boundary points, which are supported on a line and it satisfies a no-flux condition.…

For any $\alpha>0,$ we study $k^{\alpha}$-type length-preserving and area-preserving nonlocal flow of convex closed plane curves and show that these two types of flow evolve such curves into round circles in $C^{\infty}% $-norm.$\ $Other…
