Singularity Formation in Nonlinear Heat and Mean Curvature Flow Equations
In this thesis we study singularity formation in two basic nonlinear equations in $n$ dimensions: nonlinear heat equation (also known as reaction-diffusion equation) and mean curvature flow equation. For the nonlinear heat equation, we show that for an important or natural open set of initial condi...
