We construct the ancient solutions of the hypersurface flows in Euclidean spaces studied by B. Andrews in 1994. As time $t \rightarrow 0^-$ the solutions collapse to a round point where $0$ is the singular time. But as $t\rightarrow-\infty$…

In this work, we study the so-called Allen-Cahn-Navier-Stokes equations, a diffuse-interface model for two-phase incompressible flows with different densities. We first prove the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of classical solutions…

In this paper we study a contracting flow of closed, convex hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ with speed $f r^{\alpha} K$, where $K$ is the Gauss curvature, $r$ is the distance from the hypersurface to the origin, and…

We construct closed, embedded, ancient mean curvature flows in each dimension $n\ge 2$ with the topology of $S^1 \times S^{n-1}$. These examples are not mean convex and not solitons. They are constructed by analyzing perturbations of the…

We show existence of ancient solutions to the rescaled mean curvature flow starting from a given asymptotically conical self-expander. These are examples of mean curvature flows coming out of cones that are not self-similar. We also show a…

In this article, we study a locally constrained fully nonlinear curvature flow for convex capillary hypersurfaces in half-space. We prove that the flow preserves the convexity, exists for all time, and converges smoothly to a spherical cap.…

Ancient solutions arise in the study of parabolic blow-ups. If we can categorize ancient solutions, we can better understand blow-up limits. Based on an argument of Giga and Kohn, we give a Liouville-type theorem restricting ancient,…

We consider the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 2$, $$u_t= \Delta u + (1-u^2)u \quad \hbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^n \times (-\infty, 0].$$ We construct an ancient radially symmetric solution $u(x,t)$ with any given number…

Steady fluid flows have very special topology. In this paper we describe necessary and sufficient conditions on the vorticity function of a 2D ideal flow on a surface with or without boundary, for which there exists a steady flow among…

It is a fundamental open problem for the mean curvature flow, and in fact for many partial differential equations, whether or not all blowup limits are selfsimilar. In this short note, we prove that for the mean curvature flow of mean…
