The mean curvature flow is the gradient flow of volume functionals on the space of submanifolds. We prove a fundamental regularity result of the mean curvature flow in this paper: a Lipschitz submanifold with small local Lipschitz norm…

We study area- and length-preserving curvature flows for embedded closed curves on pinched Hadamard surfaces. In the variable-curvature setting, the evolution equations contain additional lower-order terms, so the PDE analysis requires…

This paper proves that, at the first singular time for a smoothly immersed surface moving by mean curvature flow in a n-manifold, each tangent flow is given by a smooth, branched shrinker, possibly with multiplicity. If n=3 and if the…

We consider closed immersed hypersurfaces in $\R^3$ and $\R^4$ evolving by a special class of constrained surface diffusion flows. This class of constrained flows includes the classical surface diffusion flow. In this paper we present a…

We characterize the long time behaviour of a discrete-in-time approximation of the volume preserving fractional mean curvature flow. In particular, we prove that the discrete flow starting from any bounded set of finite fractional perimeter…

In 1998 Smoczyk [Smo98] showed that, among others, the blowup limits at singularities are convex for the mean curvature flow starting from a closed star-shaped surface in $\mathbf{R}^3$. We prove in this paper that this is true for the mean…

The avoidance principle says that mean curvature flows of hypersurfaces remain disjoint if they are disjoint at the initial time. We prove several generalizations of the avoidance principle that allow for intersections of hypersurfaces.…

Suppose that $\Gamma_0\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ is a closed countably $n$-rectifiable set whose complement $\mathbb R^{n+1}\setminus \Gamma_0$ consists of more than one connected component. Assume that the $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of…

In [5], S\'aez and Schn\"urer studied the graphical mean curvature flow of complete hypersurfaces defined on subsets of Euclidean space. They obtained long time existence. Moreover, they provided a new interpretation of weak mean curvature…

Suppose $(M^i_t)_{t\in [0,T)}$, $i=1,2$, are two mean curvature flows in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ encountering a multiplicity one compact singularity at time $T$, in such a manner that for every $k$, the Hausdorff distance between the two flows,…
