AbstractWe consider the evolution of an entire convex graph in euclidean space with speed given by a symmetric function of the principal curvatures. Under suitable assumptions on the speed and on the initial data, we prove that the solution exists for all times and it remains a graph. In addition, after appropriate rescaling, it converges to a homothetically expanding solution of the flow. In this way, we extend to a class of nonlinear speeds the well known results of Ecker and Huisken for the mean curvature flow.

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.

Singular Time

AbstractWe construct the ancient solutions of the hypersurface flows in Euclidean spaces studied by B. Andrews in 1994.As time {t\rightarrow 0^{-}} the solutions collapse to a round point where 0 is the singular time. But as {t\rightarrow-\infty} the solutions become more and more oval. Near the center the appropriately-rescaled pointed Cheeger–Gromov limits are round cylinder solutions {S^{J}\times\mathbb{R}^{n-J}}, {1\leq J\leq n-1}. These results are the analog of the corresponding results in Ricci flow ({J=n-1}) and mean curvature flow.
