Abstract

We consider a compact star-shaped mean convex hypersurface. We prove that in some cases the flow exists until it shrinks to a point. We also prove that in the case of a surface of revolution which is star-shaped and mean convex, a smooth solution always exists up to some finite time T < ∞ at which the flow shrinks to a point asymptotically spherically.
