Abstract

In this survey, we discuss critical points of functionals by various aspects. We review properties of critical points of weighted area functional, that is, self-shrinkers of mean curvature flow in Euclidean spaces and examples of compact self-shrinkers are discussed. We also review properties of critical points for weighted area functional for weighted volume-preserving variations, that is, \(\lambda \)-hypersurfaces of weighted volume-preserving mean curvature flow in Euclidean spaces.
