Abstract: Let $M^n$ be a smooth, compact manifold without boundary, and $F_0:M^n\to R^{n+1}$ a smooth immersion which is convex. The one-parameter families $F(\,\cdot\,,t):M^n\times[0,T)\to R^{n+1}$ of hypersurfaces $M_t^n=F(\,\cdot\,,t)(M^n)$ satisfy an initial value problem $ \frac{\d F}{\d t}(\,\cdot\,,t) =-H^k(\,\cdot\,,t)\nu(\,\cdot\,,t)$, $F(\,\cdot\,,0)=F_0(\,\cdot\,)$, where $H$ is the mean curvature and $\nu(\,\cdot\,,t)$ is the outer unit normal at $F(\,\cdot\,,t)$, such that $-H\nu=\overrightarrow H$ is the mean curvature vector, and $k>0$ is a constant. This problem is called $H^k$-flow. Such flow will develop singularities after finite time. According to the blow-up rate of the square norm of the second fundamental forms, the authors analyze the structure of the rescaled limit by classifying the singularities as two types, i.e., Type I and Type II. It is proved that for Type I singularity, the limiting hypersurface satisfies an elliptic equation; for Type II singularity, the limiting hypersurface must be a translating soliton.
