PDE-ODI Principle for Mean Curvature Flow Analysis
Analysis
This paper introduces a novel PDE-ODI principle to analyze mean curvature flow, particularly focusing on ancient solutions and singularities modeled on cylinders. It offers a new approach that simplifies analysis by converting parabolic PDEs into ordinary differential inequalities, bypassing complex analytic estimates. The paper's significance lies in its ability to provide stronger asymptotic control, leading to extended results on uniqueness and rigidity in mean curvature flow, and unifying classical results.
