We say that a simple, closed curve $\gamma$ in the plane has bounded convex curvature if for every point $x$ on $\gamma$, there is an open unit disk $U_x$ and $\varepsilon_x>0$ such that $x\in\partial U_x$ and $B_{\varepsilon_x}(x)\cap…

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,…

Let $M^n$ be a biharmonic hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in a space form $\mathbb M^{n+1}(c)$. We show that $M^n$ has constant mean curvature if $c>0$ and $M^n$ is minimal if $c\leq0$, provided that the number of distinct…
