Convex Hypersurfaces

We prove${\it\epsilon}$-closeness of hypersurfaces to a sphere in Euclidean space under the assumption that the traceless second fundamental form is${\it\delta}$-small compared to the mean curvature. We give the explicit dependence of${\it\delta}$on${\it\epsilon}$within the class of uniformly convex hypersurfaces with bounded volume.

Convex Hypersurfaces

This paper concerns the evolution of a closed hypersurface of the hyperbolic space, convex by horospheres, in direction of its inner unit normal vector, where the speed equals a smooth function depending only on the mean curvature, and satisfies some further restrictions, without requiring homogeneity. It is shown that the flow exists on a finite maximal interval, convexity by horospheres is preserved and the hypersurfaces shrink down to a single point as the final time is approached. This generalizes the previous result [S. Guo, Convex hypersurfaces evolving by functions of the mean curvature, preprint (2016), arXiv:1610.08214 ] for convex hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space by the author to the setting in the hyperbolic space for the same class of flows.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow (MCF). By imposing conditions associated with the mean curvature of the initial hypersurface and the coefficient function of the forcing term of a forced MCF, and some special pinching conditions on the second fundamental form of the initial hypersurface, we prove that the first nonzero closed eigenvalues of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator are monotonic under the forced MCF, respectively, which partially generalize Mao and Zhao’s work. Moreover, we give an example to specify applications of conclusions obtained above.

Imagine a nearly horizontal, statistically uniform, random surface ζ(x, y), Gaussian in the sense that the second derivatives , , have a normal joint distribution. The problem considered is the statistical distribution of the quantitywhere J and Ω denote the mean curvature and total curvature of the surface, respectively, and ν is a constant parameter.
