Flow by Gauss curvature to the $L_p$-Gaussian Minkowski problem

Abstract

In this paper, we study the $L_p$-Gaussian Minkowski problem, which arises in the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory in Gaussian probability space. We use Aleksandrov's variational method with Lagrange multipliers to prove the existence of the logarithmic Gauss Minkowski problem. We construct a suitable Gauss curvature flow of closed, convex hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$, and prove its long-time existence and converges smoothly to a smooth solution of the normalized $L_p$ Gaussian Minkowski problem in cases of $p>0$ and $-n-1<p\le 0$ with even prescribed function respectively. We also provide a parabolic proof in the smooth category to the $L_p$-Gaussian Minkowski problem in cases of $p\ge n+1$ and $0<p<n+1$ with even prescribed function, respectively.
