Mean curvature flow is the negative gradient flow of volume, so any hypersurface flows through hypersurfaces in the direction of steepest descent for volume and eventually becomes extinct in finite time. Before it becomes extinct, topological changes can occur as it goes through singularities. If the hypersurface is in general or generic position, then

On mean curvature flow with forcing [PDF]
This paper investigates geometric properties and well-posedness of a mean curvature flow with volume-dependent forcing. With the class of forcing which bounds the volume of the evolving set away from zero and infinity, we show that a strong version of star-shapedness is preserved over time.

Spacelike translating solitons of the mean curvature flow in Lorentzian product spaces with density
By applying suitable Liouville-type results, an appropriate parabolicity criterion, and a version of the Omori-Yau's maximum principle for the drift Laplacian, we infer the uniqueness and nonexistence of complete spacelike translating solitons of the ...

Life-Span of Classical Solutions to Hyperbolic Inverse Mean Curvature Flow
In this paper, we investigate the life-span of classical solutions to hyperbolic inverse mean curvature flow. Under the condition that the curve can be expressed in the form of a graph, we derive a hyperbolic Monge–Ampère equation which can be reduced to

Multi-Reconstruction from Points Cloud by Using a Modified Vector-Valued Allen–Cahn Equation
The Poisson surface reconstruction algorithm has become a very popular tool of reconstruction from point clouds. If we reconstruct each region separately in the process of multi-reconstruction, then the reconstructed objects may overlap with each other ...

Mean curvature flow with obstacles
We consider the evolution of fronts by mean curvature in the presence of obstacles. We construct a weak solution to the flow by means of a variational method, corresponding to an implicit time-discretization scheme. Assuming the regularity of the obstacles, in the two-dimensional case we show existence and uniqueness of a regular solution before the ...

Hamiltonian mean curvature flow [PDF]
Let ( , ) be a compact Riemann surface with constant curvature c. In this work, we proved that the mean curvature flow of a given Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on provides a smooth path in Ham( ), the group of all Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of .

The skew mean curvature flow (SMCF), which origins from the study of fluid dynamics, describes the evolution of a codimension two submanifold along its binormal direction. We study the basic properties of the SMCF and prove the existence of a short-time solution to the initial value problem of the SMCF of compact surfaces in Euclidean space [Formula ...
