Monotone Quantities and Unique Limits for Evolving Convex Hypersurfaces

چکیده

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new family of monotone integral quantities associated with certain parabolic evolution equations for hypersurfaces, and to deduce from these some results about the limiting behaviour of the evolving hypersurfaces. A variety of parabolic equations for hypersurfaces have been considered. One of the earliest was the Gauss curvature flow, introduced in [Fi] as a model for the changing shape of a stone wearing on a beach. The stone is represented by a bounded convex region, and each point on its surface moves in the inward normal direction with speed equal to the Gauss curvature: If the surface at time t is given by an embedding xt, then

Curvature Estimates for Weingarten Hypersurfaces in Riemannian Manifolds

We prove curvature estimates for general curvature functions. As an application we show the existence of closed, strictly convex hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature F , where the defining cone of F is Γ+. F is only assumed to be monotone, symmetric, homogeneous of degree 1, concave and of class C, m ≥ 4.

Well-posedness of a fractional porous medium equation on an evolving surface

We investigate the existence, uniqueness, and L-contractivity of weak solutions to a porous medium equation with fractional diffusion on an evolving hypersurface. To settle the existence, we reformulate the equation as a local problem on a semi-infinite cylinder, regularise the porous medium nonlinearity and truncate the cylinder. Then we pass to the limit first in the truncation parameter and ...

A Hybrid Proximal Point Algorithm for Resolvent operator in Banach Spaces

Equilibrium problems have many uses in optimization theory and convex analysis and which is why different methods are presented for solving equilibrium problems in different spaces, such as Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. The purpose of this paper is to provide a method for obtaining a solution to the equilibrium problem in Banach spaces. In fact, we consider a hybrid proximal point algorithm...

Non-collapsing in fully nonlinear curvature flows

We consider embedded hypersurfaces evolving by fully nonlinear flows in which the normal speed of motion is a homogeneous degree one, concave or convex function of the principal curvatures, and prove a noncollapsing estimate: Precisely, the function which gives the curvature of the largest interior sphere touching the hypersurface at each point is a subsolution of the linearized flow equation i...
