Introduction to mean curvature flow

Roberta Alessandroni

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

This is a short overview on the most classical results on mean curvature flow as a flow of smooth hypersurfaces. First of all we define the mean curvature flow as a quasilinear parabolic equation and give some easy examples of evolution. Then we consider the M.C.F. on convex surfaces and sketch the proof of the convergence to a round point. Some interesting results on the M.C.F. for entire graphs are also mentioned. In particular when we consider the case of dimension one, we can compute the equation...

Evolution of convex entire graphs by curvature flows

Roberta Alessandroni;  Carlo Sinestrari — 2015

Geometric Flows

We 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...
