Mean curvature flow for Lagrangian submanifolds with convex potentials

In recent years symplectic geometry and symplectic topology have grown to large subbranches in mathematics and had a great impact on other areas in mathematics. When interested in geometry, a geometer always considers geometric structures that arise on immersed submanifolds. In symplectic geometry there is a distinguished class of immersions, known as Lagrangian submanifolds . In particular, minimal Lagrangian submanifolds, called special Lagrangians, are very important in mirror symmetry. Lagrangian mean curvature flow is an important example of Lagrangian deformation. From which we can get the special Lagrangian submanifolds. In recent years, there have been many papers about this subject and the result by K.Smoczyk and Mu-Tao Wang [WS] is very important and beautiful. Our main purpose in this article is to give a new proof for the main result in [WS] from the viewpoint of fully nonlinear partial differential equations.
