Book Description
* Devoted to the motion of surfaces for which the normal velocity at every point is given by the mean curvature at that point; this geometric heat flow process is called mean curvature flow. * Mean curvature flow and related geometric evolution equations are important tools in mathematics and mathematical physics.

Book Description
The aim of the book is to study some aspects of geometric evolutions, such as mean curvature flow and anisotropic mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces. We analyze the origin of such flows and their geometric and variational nature. Some of the most important aspects of mean curvature flow are described, such as the comparison principle and its use in the definition of suitable weak solutions. The anisotropic evolutions, which can be considered as a generalization of mean curvature flow, are studied from the view point of Finsler geometry. Concerning singular perturbations, we discuss the convergence of the Allen–Cahn (or Ginsburg–Landau) type equations to (possibly anisotropic) mean curvature flow before the onset of singularities in the limit problem. We study such kinds of asymptotic problems also in the static case, showing convergence to prescribed curvature-type problems.

Book Description
We investigate the free-boundary mean curvature flow. This is an evolution of surfaces by ``steepest descent for area, '' while preserving the Neumann-type condition that all the surfaces meet some fixed barrier orthogonally. For example, a bubble in a sink. We first prove the Huisken-Sinestrari convexity estimates for free-boundary mean curvature flow, which classifies ``type-II'' singularities. We then develop the notion of weak free-boundary mean curvature flow, extending Brakke's original definition, and proving a local regularity theorem. We also prove a geometric eigenvalue gap estimate, extending results of Ashbaugh-Benguria and Benguria-Linde.

Book Description
We study Brakke's motion of varifolds by mean curvature in the special case that the initial surface is an integral cycle, giving a new existence proof by mean of elliptic regularization. Under a uniqueness hypothesis, we obtain a weakly continuous family of currents solving Brakke's motion. These currents remain within the corresponding level-set motion by mean curvature, as defined by Evans-Spruck and Chen-Giga-Goto. Now let [italic capital]T0 be the reduced boundary of a bounded set of finite perimeter in [italic capital]R[superscript italic]n. If the level-set motion of the support of [italic capital]T0 does not develop positive Lebesgue measure, then there corresponds a unique integral [italic]n-current [italic capital]T, [partial derivative/boundary/degree of a polynomial symbol][italic capital]T = [italic capital]T0, whose time-slices form a unit density Brakke motion. Using Brakke's regularity theorem, spt [italic capital]T is smooth [script capital]H[superscript italic]n-almost everywhere. In consequence, almost every level-set of the level-set flow is smooth [script capital]H[superscript italic]n-almost everywhere in space-time.

Book Description
Geometric flows have many applications in physics and geometry. The mean curvature flow occurs in the description of the interface evolution in certain physical models. This is related to the property that such a flow is the gradient flow of the area functional and therefore appears naturally in problems where a surface energy is minimized. The mean curvature flow also has many geometric applications, in analogy with the Ricci flow of metrics on abstract riemannian manifolds. One can use this flow as a tool to obtain classification results for surfaces satisfying certain curvature conditions, as well as to construct minimal surfaces. Geometric flows, obtained from solutions of geometric parabolic equations, can be considered as an alternative tool to prove isoperimetric inequalities. On the other hand, isoperimetric inequalities can help in treating several aspects of convergence of these flows. Isoperimetric inequalities have many applications in other fields of geometry, like hyperbolic manifolds.

Book Description
``Mean curvature flow'' is a term that is used to describe the evolution of a hypersurface whose normal velocity is given by the mean curvature. In the simplest case of a convex closed curve on the plane, the properties of the mean curvature flow are described by Gage-Hamilton's theorem. This theorem states that under the mean curvature flow, the curve collapses to a point, and if the flow is diluted so that the enclosed area equals $\pi$, the curve tends to the unit circle. In thisbook, the author gives a comprehensive account of fundamental results on singularities and the asymptotic behavior of mean curvature flows in higher dimensions. Among other topics, he considers in detail Huisken's theorem (a generalization of Gage-Hamilton's theorem to higher dimension), evolutionof non-convex curves and hypersurfaces, and the classification of singularities of the mean curvature flow. Because of the importance of the mean curvature flow and its numerous applications in differential geometry and partial differential equations, as well as in engineering, chemistry, and biology, this book can be useful to graduate students and researchers working in these areas. The book would also make a nice supplementary text for an advanced course in differential geometry.Prerequisites include basic differential geometry, partial differential equations, and related applications.
