| Abstract: |
| Gage studied the area-preserving curvature flow of a plane curve in 1986 and showed that an initially convex interface remains convex and converges to a stationary circle. However, in applications, the medium is often not homogeneous and the interface moves towards a more favorable environment. In this talk, I will extend the area-preserving curvature flow to an inhomogeneous medium and will explain the dynamics of an interface of the area-preserving curvature flow in an inhomogeneous medium. |
