In particular, for compact convex hypersurfaces with flat sides we show that, under a certain non-degeneracy initial condition, the interface separating the flat from the strictly convex side, becomes smooth, and it moves by the $Q_{k-1}$ flow at least for a short time.Analysis of PDEsDifferential Geometrytext
