Type II smoothing in mean curvature flow

In 1994 Velazquez constructed a smooth \(O(4)\times O(4)\) invariant Mean Curvature Flow that forms a type-II singularity at the origin in space-time. Stolarski very recently showed that the mean curvature on this solution is uniformly bounded. Earlier, Velazquez also provided formal asymptotic expansions for a possible smooth continuation of the solution after the singularity. Here we prove short time existence of Velazquez formal continuation, and we verify that the mean curvature is also uniformly bounded on the continuation. Combined with the earlier results of Velazquez-Stolarski we therefore show that there exists a solution \(\{M_t^7\subset\R^8 \mid -t_0 更多
