    The authors continue their investigations on the expansion of a smooth closed uniformly convex hypersurface \(M_0\) in Euclidean space along its outward normal vector direction with the speed a function of the inverse of the harmonic mean curvature and the Gauss curvature, respectively. They study the case when the speed \(f\) is a nonhomogeneous positive function of the principal radii. Under certain assumptions on the function \(f\), they prove that the evolving hypersurfaces remain smooth, strictly convex and expand to infinity while their shapes become round asymptotically. In particular, after an appropriate rescaling, the support functions converge to \(1\) in the \(C^1\)-norm.
