1. The result We consider the evolution of a hypersurface M in Euclidean space R by its mean curvature. This was first studied by Huisken [3]. In this flow each point Y on M moves in the direction of the unit normal vector N with velocity equal to the mean curvature H, the trace of the second fundamental form H(V, V) over the tangent vectors V. We confine our attention to solutions which are smooth and either compact, or else are complete with bounded second fundamental form. 1.1. Main Theorem A. For any weakly convex solution to the mean curvature flow for t > 0 we have
