The self-similar expanding curve for the curvature flow equation. (English) Zbl 1032.35084

The aim of this paper is to investigate a two point boundary value problem for the mean curvature flow equation. It leads to a Neuman boundary value problem for a nonlinear parabolic equation in non-divergence form. They study self-similar solutions for which existence and uniqueness theorems are obtained. Furthermore, they investigate dynamic stability of a self-similar expanding curve.
