In the warped product $M\\times_\\varphi\\mathbb R$, we study the flow by the mean curvature of a locally Lipschitz continuous graph on $M$ and prove that the flow exists for all time and that the evolving hypersurface is $C^\\infty$ for $t>0$ and is a graph for all $t$. Moreover, under certain conditions, the flow has a well defined limit.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-06-16T17:13:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44" ], "keywords": [ "mean curvature flow", "warped product", "complete riemannian manifold", "positive smooth function", "locally lipschitz continuous graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0906.2981B" } } }
