In the last several years, there has been considerable interest in the deformation of Euclidean hypersurfaces in the direction of their normal vector field with speed various functions of the principal curvatures (see the extensive references in the paper). In each of the cited papers, the hypersurfaces are evolving with speed a homogeneous increasing function of the principal radii. For expanding flows, one generally assumes in addition that the function is concave. In this paper the authors investigate expanding flows with speed an increasing function of the principal radii without assumption that the function is homogeneous. Thus the obtained results generalize most of the previous results on expanding flows. In the paper under review they study the motion of a smooth, strictly convex, embedded closed curve in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) expanding in the direction of its outward normal vector with speed given by an arbitrary positive increasing function \(G\) of its principal radius of curvature. The result is that there exists a unique one-parameter family of smooth, strictly convex curves satisfying the above equation, which expand to infinity. Moreover, the shapes of the curves become round asymptotically in the sense that if one rescales the equation appropriately, the support function of the rescaled curves converge uniformly to the constant \(1\) in \(C^2\)-norm. Under additional hypotheses on the function \(G\), they prove that the convergence is in \(C^\infty\)-norm.
