We study a fourth-order flow, which can be seen as a globally constrained Willmore flow. We obtain a lower bound on the lifespan of the smooth solution, which depends on the concentration of curvature for the initial surface and the constrained term. We also give a gap lemma for this flow, which is an important lemma in the study of the blowup analysis.
Keywords: Geometric evolution equations, fourth order, Willmore flow..
