摘要

This paper concerns the evolution of a closed convex hypersurface in \(\mathbb {R}^{n+1}\) R n + 1 , in direction of its inner unit normal vector, where the speed is given by a smooth function depending only on the mean curvature, and satisfies some further restrictions, without requiring homogeneity. It is shown that the flow exists on a finite maximal interval, convexity is preserved and the hypersurfaces shrink down to a single point as the final time is approached. This generalises the corresponding result of Schulze for the positive power mean curvature flow to a much larger possible class of flows by the functions depending only on the mean curvature.
