Abstract

We consider flows of hypersurfaces in ℝn+l decreasing the energy induced by radially symmetric potentials. These flows are similar to the mean curvature flow but different phenomena occur. We show for a natural class of potentials that hypersurfaces converge smoothly to a uniquely determined sphere if they satisfy a strengthened starshapedness condition at the beginning.
