We show the existence, uniqueness and convergence of the MMCF of complete embedded star-shaped hypersurfaces with fixed prescribed asymptotic boundary at infinity. As an application, we recover the existence and uniqueness of smooth complete hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in hyperbolic space with prescribed asymptotic boundary at infinity, which was first shown by Guan and Spruck.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-10-11T13:00:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44", "35K20", "58J35" ], "keywords": [ "modified mean curvature flow", "hyperbolic space", "prescribed asymptotic boundary", "constant mean curvature", "smooth complete hypersurfaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.2091L" } } }
