Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold which either is compact or has a pole, and let $\varphi$ be a positive smooth function on $M$. In the warped product $M\times_\varphi\mathbb R$, we study the flow by the mean curvature of a locally…

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 "$M(T)$",…

The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to establish sufficient conditions under which the mean curvature flow supported on a hypersphere with exterior Dirichlet boundary exists globally in time and converges to a minimal surface,…
