چکیده
We show short time existence and uniqueness of C solutions to the mean curvature flow with obstacles, when the obstacles are of class C. If the initial interface is a periodic graph we show long time existence of the evolution and convergence to a minimal constrained hypersurface.

متن کاملMean curvature flow with obstacles
We consider the evolution of fronts by mean curvature in the presence of obstacles. We construct a weak solution to the flow by means of a variational method, corresponding to an implicit time-discretization scheme. Assuming the regularity of the obstacles, in the two-dimensional case we show existence and uniqueness of a regular solution before the onset of singularities. Finally, we discuss a...

By making use of the approximation method, we obtain the existence and regularity of the viscosity solutions for the generalized mean curvature flow. The asymptotic behavior of the flow is also considered. In particular, the Diri...
متن کاملUniqueness and Pseudolocality Theorems of the Mean Curvature Flow
Mean curvature flow evolves isometrically immersed base Riemannian manifolds M in the direction of their mean curvature in an ambient manifold M̄ . We consider the classical solutions to the mean curvature flow. If the base manifold M is compact, the short time existence and uniqueness of the mean curvature flow are well-known. For complete noncompact isometrically immersed hypersurfaces M (unif...
متن کاملA Level Set Crystalline Mean Curvature Flow of Surfaces
We introduce a new notion of viscosity solutions for the level set formulation of the motion by crystalline mean curvature in three dimensions. The solutions satisfy the comparison principle, stability with respect to an approximation by regularized problems, and we also show the uniqueness and existence of a level set flow for bounded crystals.
