The author studies an evolution \(\{\Gamma_t, t > 0\}\) of a closed surface \(\Gamma_0\) under the law \[ E[\Gamma_t] = E(s(v),\mathbf k)[\Gamma_t] = f,\quad t > 0, \] where \(s(v)\) is equal \(v\) or \(-v\), \(v(M)\) is the normal component of the velocity at a point \(M\in\Gamma_t\), \(\mathbf k(M) = (k_1,\dots,k_n)(M_t)\) is the vector of principal curvatures of \(\Gamma_t\), \(E = E(s,S)\) and \(f = f(t)\) are given functions, \((s,S) \in D\subset R^1\times\text{Sym}(n)\), \(n\geq 2\), and \(\text{Sym}(n)\) is the space of symmetric matrices of order \(n\). The aim of the article is to describe laws guaranteeing that \(\Gamma_t\), \(t > 0\), either expand indefinitely as \(t\to\infty\) or shrink to a point in a finite time.
