Mean Curvature Flow of Mean Convex Hypersurfaces [PDF]
In the last 15 years, White and Huisken‐Sinestrari developed a far‐reaching structure theory for the mean curvature flow of mean convex hypersurfaces. Their papers provide a package of estimates and structural results that yield a precise description of singularities and of high‐curvature regions in a mean convex flow.In the present paper, we give a ...

Local Capillary Pressure Estimation Based on Curvature of the Fluid Interface – Validation with Two-Phase Direct Numerical Simulations [PDF]
With the advancement of high-resolution three-dimensional X-ray imaging, it is now possible to directly calculate the curvature of the interface of two phases extracted from segmented CT images during two-phase flow experiments to derive capillary ...

A convergent algorithm for forced mean curvature flow driven by diffusion on the surface
The evolution of a closed two-dimensional surface driven by both mean curvature flow and a reaction–diffusion process on the surface is formulated as a system that couples the velocity law not only to the surface partial differential equation but also to

Uniqueness of two-convex closed ancient solutions to the mean curvature flow [PDF]
In this paper we consider closed non-collapsed ancient solutions to the mean curvature flow ($n \ge 2$) which are uniformly two-convex. We prove that any two such ancient solutions are the same up to translations and scaling.

A convergent evolving finite element algorithm for mean curvature flow of closed surfaces [PDF]
A proof of convergence is given for semi- and full discretizations of mean curvature flow of closed two-dimensional surfaces. The numerical method proposed and studied here combines evolving finite elements, whose nodes determine the discrete surface ...

Universality in mean curvature flow neckpinches [PDF]
We study noncompact surfaces evolving by mean curvature flow. Without any symmetry assumptions, we prove that any solution that is $C^3$-close at some time to a standard neck will develop a neckpinch singularity in finite time, will become asymptotically rotationally symmetric in a space-time neighborhood of its singular set, and will have a unique ...

Scherk-like translators for mean curvature flow [PDF]
We prove existence and uniqueness for a two-parameter family of translators for mean curvature flow. We get additional examples by taking limits at the boundary of the parameter space.

Complete Self-Shrinking Solutions for Lagrangian Mean Curvature Flow in Pseudo-Euclidean Space
Let f(x) be a smooth strictly convex solution of det(∂2f/∂xi∂xj)=exp(1/2)∑i=1nxi(∂f/∂xi)-f defined on a domain Ω⊂Rn; then the graph M∇f of ∇f is a space-like self-shrinker of mean curvature flow in Pseudo-Euclidean space Rn2n with the indefinite metric ...

Some Characterizations of Generalized Null Scrolls
In this work, a family of ruled surfaces named generalized null scrolls in Minkowski 3-space are investigated via the defined structure functions. The relations between the base curve and the ruling flow of the generalized null scroll are revealed.

Notes on Translating Solitons for Mean Curvature Flow [PDF]
The purpose of these notes is to provide an introduction to those who want to learn more about translating solitons for the mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$, particularly those which are complete graphs over domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
