Abstract

In this paper, we study a fully nonlinear inverse curvature flow in Euclidean space, and prove a non-collapsing property for this flow using maximum principle. Precisely, we show that upon some conditions on speed function, the curvature of the largest touching interior ball is bounded by a multiple of the speed.
