Curve shortening in the -plane in which, at a given point on the curve, the normal velocity of the curve is equal to the curvature, is shown to satisfy , where is the Schwarz function of the curve. This equation is shown to have a parametric solution from which the known explicit solutions for curve shortening flow; the circle, grim reaper, paperclip and hairclip, can be recovered.

It is yours to shape. Send anything that should be added or corrected: your preferred spelling, an ORCID, a homepage, a line about your work. Or ask for the page to be removed. Someone reads every message. Mention NP-RC-615820 so it reaches the right page.
NP-RC-615820 is Robb McDonald's permanent number in the Ricci flow community on Neckpinch. It stays with them through any change of name or post. More about these numbers.
A window on one part of a person's work: papers here go back to 2016 and cover Ricci flow and its neighbouring flows, with the older work the site recommends, so this page is no measure of anyone's whole output. Being listed is not an endorsement by or of the person. If two people share this name, their work may appear together here. How it is put together.
