Continuous dependence of curvature flow on initial conditions
We study the evolution of a Jordan curve on the 2-sphere by curvature flow, also known as curve shortening flow, and by level-set flow, which is a weak formulation of curvature flow. We show that the evolution of the curve depends continuously on the initial curve in Frechet distance in the case where the curve bisects the sphere. This even holds in the limit as time goes to infinity. This builds on Joseph Lauer's work on existence and uniqueness of solutions to the curvature flow problem on the sphere when the initial curve is not smooth.
期刊介绍:
This journal is devoted to topology and analysis, broadly defined to include, for instance, differential geometry, geometric topology, geometric analysis, geometric group theory, index theory, noncommutative geometry, and aspects of probability on discrete structures, and geometry of Banach spaces. We welcome all excellent papers that have a geometric and/or analytic flavor that fosters the interactions between these fields. Papers published in this journal should break new ground or represent definitive progress on problems of current interest. On rare occasion, we will also accept survey papers.
