Long time behavior of a class of non-homogeneous anisotropic fully nonlinear curvature flows

Abstract

In this paper, we study a class of non-homogeneous anisotropic fully nonlinear curvature flows in ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$. More precisely, we consider a hypersurface $M$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$ deformed by a flow along its unit normal with its speed $f(r)\ddot{I}{ƒ}_k^{\hat{I}}\pm$ where $\ddot{I}{ƒ}_k$ is the $k$-th elementary symmetric polynomial of $M$'s principle curvatures, $r$ is the distance of the point on $M$ to the origin, $f$ is a smooth nonnegative function on $[0,\infty )$ and $\hat{I}\pm >0$. Under some suitable conditions on $f$, we prove that starting from a star-shaped and $k$-convex hypersurface, the flow exists for all time and converges smoothly to a sphere after normalization. In particular, we generalize the results in \cite{li2022asymptotic}.
