Evolution of complete noncompact graphs by powers of curvature function


Abstract in English

This paper concerns the evolution of complete noncompact locally uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean space by curvature flow, for which the normal speed $Phi$ is given by a power $betageq 1$ of a monotone symmetric and homogeneous of degree one function $F$ of the principal curvatures. Under the assumption that $F$ is inverse concave and its dual function approaches zero on the boundary of positive cone, we prove that the complete smooth strictly convex solution exists and remains a graph until the maximal time of existence. In particular, if $F=K^{s/n}G^{1-s}$ for any $sin(0, 1]$, where $G$ is a homogeneous of degree one, increasing in each argument and inverse concave curvature function, we prove that the complete noncompact smooth strictly convex solution exists and remains a graph for all times.
