When the Neumann condition implemented is that the flowing disc be holomorphic at the boundary, it is proven that the flow converges to a holomorphic disc. This is extended to the flow of a family of discs with boundary lying on a fixed rotationally symmetric line congruence, which is shown to converge to a filling by maximal surfaces. Moreover, if the family is required to be holomorphic at the boundary, it is shown that the flow converges to the Bishop filling by holomorphic discs of an isolated complex point of Maslov index 2.Mean curvature flowKähler geometryBoundaries & non-compactFree boundary & capillaryRotational symmetry & warped products
