Abstract: Given a smooth positive function FinCinfty(mathbbSn) such that the square of its positive 1-homogeneous extension on mathbbRn+1setminus0 is uniformly convex, the Wulff shape WF is a smooth uniformly convex body in the Euclidean space mathbbRn+1 with F being the support function of the boundary partialWF. In this paper, we introduce the fully nonlinear locally constrained anisotropic curvature flow �egin{equation*} frac{partial }{partial t}X=(1-E_k^{1/k}sigma_F) u_F,quad k=2,cdots,n end{equation*} in the Euclidean space, where Ek denotes the normalized kth anisotropic mean curvature with respect to the Wulff shape WF, sigmaF the anisotropic support function and uF the outward anisotropic unit normal of the evolving hypersurface. We show that starting from a smooth, closed and strictly convex hypersurface in mathbbRn+1 (ngeq2), the smooth solution of the flow exists for all positive time and converges smoothly and exponentially to a scaled Wulff shape. A nice feature of this flow is that it improves a certain isoperimetric ratio. Therefore by the smooth convergence of the above flow, we provide a new proof of a class of the Alexandrov--Fenchel inequalities for anisotropic mixed volumes of smooth convex domains in the Euclidean space.
