Abstract: This paper investigates geometric properties and well-posedness of a mean curvature flow with volume-dependent forcing. With the class of forcing which bounds the volume of the evolving set away from zero and infinity, we show that a strong version of star-shapedness is preserved over time. More precisely, it is shown that the flow preserves the -reflection property, which corresponds to a quantitative Lipschitz property of the set with respect to the nearest ball. Based on this property we show that the problem is well-posed and its solutions starting with -reflection property become instantly smooth. Lastly, for a model problem, we will discuss the flow's exponential convergence to the unique equilibrium in Hausdorff topology. For the analysis, we adopt the approach developed in [Kim-Feldman, 2014] to combine viscosity solutions approach and variational method. The main challenge lies in the lack of comparison principle, which accompanies forcing terms that penalize small volume.
