We study the evolution of a Jordan curve on the plane by curvature flow, also known as curve shortening flow, and by level-set flow, which is a weak formulation of curvature flow. We show that the evolution of the curve depends continuously…

We consider the evolution of sets by nonlocal mean curvature and we discuss the preservation along the flow of two geometric properties, which are the mean convexity and the outward minimality. The main tools in our analysis are the level…
In this paper, we introduce a new constrained mean curvature type flow for capillary boundary hypersurfaces in space forms. We show the flow exists for all time and converges globally to a spherical cap. Moreover, the flow preserves the…
This paper is concerned with the motion of a time dependent hypersurface that evolves by mean curvature flow with a a volume constraint. Phase field approximation of this motion leads to the well known nonlocal Allen--Cahn equation. Here we…
In this article we partially classify the space of eternal mean convex flows in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of finite total curvature type, a condition implied by finite total curvature. In particular we show that topologically nonplanar ones must flow…
We consider the volume preserving flow of smooth, closed and convex hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1} (n\geq 2)$ with the speed given by arbitrary positive power $\alpha$ of the Gauss curvature. We prove that if the…
Curve evolution is often used to solve computer vision problems. If the curve evolution fails to converge, we would not be able to solve the targeted problem in a lifetime. This paper studies the theoretical aspect of the convergence of a…
We consider a mean curvature flow in a cone, that is, a hypersurface in a cone which moves toward the opening with normal velocity equaling to the mean curvature, and the contact angle between the hypersurface and the cone boundary being…
We consider curvature flows in hyperbolic space with a monotone, symmetric, homogeneous of degree 1 curvature function F. Furthermore we assume F to be either concave and inverse concave or convex. For compact initial hypersurfaces, which…
We consider the evolution by inverse mean curvature flow of a closed, mean convex and star-shaped hypersurface in the complex hyperbolic space. We prove that the flow is defined for any positive time, the evolving hypersurface stays…
We show that strictly convex surfaces expanding by the inverse Gauss curvature flow converge to infinity in finite time. After appropriate rescaling, they converge to spheres. We describe the algorithm to find our main test function.
This article gives an alternative approach to the self-shrinking and self-expanding solutions of the curve shortening flow, which are related to singularity formation of the mean curvature flow. The motivation for the self-similar solutions…
We construct new examples of immortal mean curvature flow of smooth embedded connected hypersurfaces in closed manifolds, which converge to minimal hypersurfaces with multiplicity $2$ as time approaches infinity.
In this article, we introduce a new type of mean curvature flow for bounded star-shaped domains in space forms and prove its longtime existence, exponential convergence without any curvature assumption. Along this flow, the enclosed volume…
We study closed, embedded hypersurfaces in Euclidean space evolving by fully nonlinear curvature flows, whose speed is given by a symmetric, monotone increasing, $1$-homogeneous, positive underlying speed function $F$ composed with a…
We consider closed immersed hypersurfaces in $\R^{3}$ and $\R^4$ evolving by a class of constrained surface diffusion flows. Our result, similar to earlier results for the Willmore flow, gives both a positive lower bound on the time for…

Given a convex cone in the \emph{prescribed} warped product, we consider hypersurfaces with boundary which are star-shaped with respect to the center of the cone and which meet the cone perpendicularly. If those hypersurfaces inside the…
We introduce a definition of finite-time curvature evolution along with our recent study on shape coherence in nonautonomous dynamical systems. Comparing to slow evolving curvature preserving the shape, large curvature growth points reveal…
