We establish short-time existence of the smooth solution to the fractional mean curvature flow when the initial set is bounded and C^{1,1}-regular. We provide the same result also for the volume preserving fractional mean curvature flow.

Given any non-central interior point $o$ of the unit disc $D$, the diameter $L$ through $o$ is the union of two linear arcs emanating from $o$ which meet $\partial D$ orthogonally, the shorter of them stable and the longer unstable (under…

In this paper, we prove short time existence and uniqueness of smooth evolution by mean curvature in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ starting from any $n$-dimensional $(\varepsilon,R)$-Reifenberg flat set with $\varepsilon$ sufficiently small. More…

We consider a mean curvature flow in a cone, that is, a hypersurface in a cone which moves toward the opening with normal velocity equaling to the mean curvature, and the contact angle between the hypersurface and the cone boundary being…

We introduce a reflected chord-arc profile for curves with orthogonal boundary condition and obtain a chord-arc estimate for embedded free boundary curve shortening flows in a convex planar domain. As a consequence, we are able to prove…

We propose a notion of discrete elastic and area-constrained elastic curves in 2-dimensional space forms. Our definition extends the well-known discrete Euclidean curvature equation to space forms and reflects various geometric properties…

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…

We study a geometric flow on curves, immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$, that have strictly positive torsion. The evolution equation is given by $$X_{t}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\tau}} \textbf{B}$$ where $\tau$ is the torsion and $\textbf{B}$ is the unit…

This article deals with flow of plane curves driven by the curvature and external force. We make use of such a geometric flow for the purpose of image segmentation. A parametric model for evolving curves with uniform and curvature adjusted…

We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of embedded self-shrinkers in $\RR^3$. Since self-shrinkers model singularities in mean curvature flow, this theorem can be thought of as a compactness result for the space of all…

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 examine the L^2-gradient flow of Euler's elastic energy for closed curves in hyperbolic space and prove convergence to the global minimizer for initial curves with elastic energy bounded by 16. We show the sharpness of this bound by…

In this paper, the general formulation for inextensible flows of curves on oriented surface in $\mathbb{R}^3 $ is investigated. The necessary and sufficient conditions for inextensible curve flow lying an oriented surface are expressed as a…

In this paper, we consider a family of closed hypersurfaces which shrink self-similarly with speed of quotient curvatures. We show that the only such hypersurfaces are shrinking spheres.

We consider the evolution of open planar curves by the steepest descent flow of a geometric functional, under different boundary conditions. We prove that, if any set of stationary solutions with fixed energy is finite, then a solution of…

Recently, J. Streets and G. Tian introduced a natural way to evolve an almost-K\"ahler manifold called the symplectic curvature flow, in which the metric, the symplectic structure and the almost-complex structure are all evolving. We study…

In this paper we investigate the one-dimensional hyperbolic mean curvature flow for closed plane curves. We show that there exists a class of initial velocities such that the solution of the corresponding initial value problem exists only…

We provide a description of W_3 transformations in terms of deformations of convex curves in two dimensional Euclidean space. This geometrical interpretation sheds some light on the nature of finite W_3-morphisms. We also comment on how…

We present a numerical method for computing the evolution of a planar, star-shaped curve under a broad class of curvature-driven geometric flows, which we refer to as the Andrews-Bloore flows. This family of flows has two parameters that…

We analyze the problem of approximating a smooth quantum waveguide with a quantum graph. We consider a planar curve with compactly supported curvature and a strip of constant width around the curve. We rescale the curvature and the width in…
