Nonlocal curvature flows of closed curves in the plane
Abstract:
We first talk about Gage's area-preserving flow (GAPF) for simple, smooth and star-shaped curves. It is shown that GAPF drives a centrosymmetric initial curve into a circle as time tends to infinity. Then we generalize GAPF to deform one convex curve to another. This work gives a partial answer to Yau's problem on realizing Whitney-Graustein Theorem via curvature flows.
