The process depends on a parameter H. Its role is to initiate a surgery when the maximum of the mean curvature of the evolving hypersurface becomes H, and to control the scale at which each surgery is performed. We prove that as H goes to infinity the surgery process converges to level set flow.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-09-20T13:49:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44" ], "keywords": [ "mean curvature flow", "convergence", "level set flow", "surgery process converges", "initial data" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1002.3765L" } } }
