Weak Solutions for a Stochastic Mean Curvature Flow of Two-dimensional Graphs

چکیده
We study a stochastically perturbed mean curvature flow for graphs in R3 over the two-dimensional unit-cube subject to periodic boundary conditions. In particular, we establish the existence of a weak martingale solution. The proof is based on energy methods and therefore presents an alternative to the stochastic viscosity solution approach. To overcome difficulties induced by the degeneracy of the mean curvature operator and the multiplicative gradient noise present in the model we employ a three step approximation scheme together with refined stochastic compactness and martingale identification methods.

Weak Solutions to Mean Curvature Flow Respecting Obstacles I: the Graphical Case
We consider the problem of evolving hypersurfaces by mean curvature flow in the presence of obstacles, that is domains which the flow is not allowed to enter. In this paper, we treat the case of complete graphs and explain how the approach of M. Sáez and the second author [13] yields a global weak solution to the original problem for general initial data and onesided obstacles.
متن کاملA Stochastic Representation for Mean Curvature Type Geometric Flows by H. Mete Soner
A smooth solution { (t)}t∈[0,T ] ⊂ Rd of a parabolic geometric flow is characterized as the reachability set of a stochastic target problem. In this control problem the controller tries to steer the state process into a given deterministic set T with probability one. The reachability set, V (t), for the target problem is the set of all initial data x from which the state process Xν x(t) ∈ T for...
متن کاملStochastic averaging for SDEs with Hopf Drift and polynomial diffusion coefficients
It is known that a stochastic differential equation (SDE) induces two probabilistic objects, namely a difusion process and a stochastic flow. While the diffusion process is determined by the innitesimal mean and variance given by the coefficients of the SDE, this is not the case for the stochastic flow induced by the SDE. In order to characterize the stochastic flow uniquely the innitesimal cov...
متن کاملA General Regularity Theory for Weak Mean Curvature Flow
We give a new proof of Brakke’s partial regularity theorem up to C for weak varifold solutions of mean curvature flow by utilizing parabolic monotonicity formula, parabolic Lipschitz approximation and blow-up technique. The new proof extends to a general flow whose velocity is the sum of the mean curvature and any given background flow field in a dimensionally sharp integrability class. It is a...
