Inspired by the idea of Colding-Minicozzi in [CM1], we define (mean curvature flow) entropy for submanifolds in a general ambient Riemannian manifold. In particular, this entropy is equivalent to area growth of a closed submanifold in a…
We show that the mean curvature blows up at the first finite singular time for a closed smooth embedded mean curvature flow in R^3.
The famous thresholding scheme by Merriman, Bence, and Osher (Motion of multiple junctions: A level set approach. Journal of Computational Physics 112.2 (1994): 334-363.) proved itself as a very efficient time discretization of mean…
In [Vel94], Velazquez constructed a countable collection of mean curvature flow solutions in $\mathbb{R}^N$ in every dimension $N \ge 8$. Each of these solutions becomes singular in finite time at which time the second fundamental form…
In this paper, we consider an expanding flow of closed, smooth, uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean \mathbb{R}^{n+1} with speed u^\alpha f^\beta (\alpha, \beta\in\mathbb{R}^1), where u is support function of the hypersurface, f is a…
In this article we show that generally almost regular flows, introduced by Bamler and Kleiner, in closed 3-manifolds will either go extinct in finite time or flow to a collection of smooth embedded minimal surfaces, possibly with…
For every closed set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and every $m \geq 2$, we construct a mean-convex ancient solution to mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{m+n}$, with respect to a smooth Riemannian metric arbitrarily…
The paper addresses the numerical approximation of two variants of hyperbolic mean curvature flow of surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$. For each evolution law we propose both a finite element method, as well as a finite difference scheme in the…
This paper is devoted to the robust approximation with a variational phase field approach of multiphase mean curvature flows with possibly highly contrasted mobilities. The case of harmonically additive mobilities has been addressed…
We consider contracting and expanding curvature flows in $\Ss$. When the flow hypersurfaces are strictly convex we establish a relation between the contracting hypersurfaces and the expanding hypersurfaces which is given by the Gau{\ss}…
In this work we study the existence of solutions to the Mean Curvature Flow for which the initial condition has the structure of a two-dimensional Lie subgroup within a Lie group of dimension three. We consider Lie groups with a fixed…
We construct new examples of self-translating surfaces for the mean curvature flow from a periodic configuration with finitely many grim reaper cylinders in each period. Because this work is an extension of the author's article on the…
We give a construction that connects the Cauchy problem for Liouville elliptic equation with a certain initial value problem for mean curvature one surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space H3, and solve both of them. We construct the only mean…
We consider motion by anisotropic curvature of a network of three curves immersed in the plane meeting at a triple junction and with the other ends fixed. We show existence, uniqueness and regularity of a maximal geometric solution and we…
A mean curvature flow starting from a closed embedded hypersurface in $R^{n+1}$ must develop singularities. We show that if the flow has only generic singularities, then the space-time singular set is contained in finitely many compact…
In this paper, we first consider a class of expanding flows of closed, smooth, star-shaped hypersurface in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed $u^\alpha f^{-\beta}$, where $u$ is the support function of the hypersurface, $f$ is a…
We present new examples of complete embedded self-similar surfaces under mean curvature by gluing a sphere and a plane. These surfaces have finite genus and are the first examples of self-shrinkers in $\mathbb R^3$ that are not rotationally…
We prove the existence of closed convex ancient solutions to curvature flows which become more and more oval for large negative times. The speed function is a general symmetric function of the principal curvatures, homogeneous of degree…
In this paper, we introduce a monotonicity formula for the mean curvature flow which is related to self-expanders. Then we use the monotonicity to study the asymptotic behavior of Type III mean curvature flow on noncompact hypersurfaces.
In this article, we extend Huisken's theorem that convex surfaces flow to round points by mean curvature flow. We construct certain classes of mean convex and non-mean convex hypersurfaces that shrink to round points and use these…
