The curve shortening problem associated to a density

Differential Geometry 2015-03-10 v1

Abstract

In Rn\mathbb{R}^n with a density eψe^\psi, we study the mean curvature flow associated to the density (ψ\psi-mean curvature flow or ψ\psiMCF) of a hypersurface. The main results concern with the description of the evolution under ψ\psiMCF of a closed embedded curve in the plane with a radial density, and with a statement of subconvergence to a ψ\psi-minimal closed curve in a surface under some general circumstances.
