We study the curvature flow of planar nonconvex lens-shaped domains, considered as special symmetric networks with two triple junctions. We show that the evolving domain becomes convex in finite time; then it shrinks homothetically to a point. Our theorem is the analog of the result of Grayson for curvature flow of closed planar embedded curves.

Abstract

We study the curvature flow of planar nonconvex lens-shaped domains, considered as special symmetric networks with two triple junctions. We show that the evolving domain becomes convex in finite time; then it shrinks homothetically to a point. Our theorem is the analog of the result of Grayson for curvature flow of closed planar embedded curves.
