Convex solutions to the power-of-mean curvature flow

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove some estimates for convex ancient solutions (the existence time for the solution starts from −∞-\infty) to the power-of-mean curvature flow, when the power is strictly greater than 1/2. As an application, we prove that in two dimension, the blow-down of the entire convex translating solution, namely uh=1hu(h11+αx),u_{h}=\frac{1}{h}u(h^{\frac{1}{1+α}}x), locally uniformly converges to 11+α∣x∣1+α\frac{1}{1+α}|x|^{1+α} as h→∞h\rightarrow\infty. Another application is that for generalized curve shortening flow (convex curve evolving in its normal direction with speed equal to a power of its curvature), if the convex compact ancient solution sweeps R2\textbf{R}^{2}, it it has to be a shrinking circle. Otherwise the solution is defined in a strip region.
