Smooth solutions to the Gauss image problem

Li Chen, Di Wu and Ni Xiang

Vol. 317 (2022), No. 2, 275–295
Abstract

We study the Gauss image problem, a generalization of the Aleksandrov problem in convex geometry. By considering a geometric flow involving Gauss curvature and functions of normal vectors and radial vectors, we obtain the existence of smooth solutions to this problem.
