【 摘 要 】

A revised Yau's Curvature Difference Flow is considered to deform one convex curve X-0 to another one (X) over tilde. It is proved that this flow exists globally on time interval [0, +infinity) and the evolving curve, preserving its convexity and bounded area A, converges to a fixed limiting curve X-infinity(congruent to root A/(A) over tilde (X) over tilde) as time tends to infinity, where (A) over tilde is the area bounded by the target curve (X) over tilde.
