Asymptotic convergence for modified scalar curvature flow

In this paper, we study the flow of closed, starshaped hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed $r^ασ_2^{1/2},$ where $σ_2^{1/2}$ is the normalized square root of the scalar curvature, $α\geq 2,$ and $r$ is the distance from points on the hypersurface to the origin. We prove that the flow exists for all time and the starshapedness is preserved. Moreover, after normalization, we show that the flow converges exponentially fast to a sphere centered at origin. When $α<2,$ a counterexample is given for the above convergence.
