Motion by volume preserving mean curvature flow near cylinders

چکیده
We investigate the volume preserving mean curvature flow with Neumann boundary condition for hypersurfaces that are graphs over a cylinder. Through a center manifold analysis we find that initial hypersurfaces sufficiently close to a cylinder of large enough radius, have a flow that exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to a cylinder. In particular, we show that there exist global solutions to the flow that converge to a cylinder, which are initially non-axially symmetric. A similar case where the initial hypersurfaces are spherical graphs has previously been investigated by Escher and Simonett [8].

Stability and Bifurcation of Equilibria for the Axisymmetric Averaged Mean Curvature Flow
We study the averaged mean curvature flow, also called the volume preserving mean curvature flow, in the particular setting of axisymmetric surfaces embedded in R3 satisfying periodic boundary conditions. We establish analytic well–posedness of the flow within the space of little-Hölder continuous surfaces, given rough initial data. We also establish dynamic properties of equilibria, including ...

متن کاملLocal Well-Posedness for Volume-Preserving Mean Curvature and Willmore Flows with Line Tension
We show the short-time existence and uniqueness of solutions for the motion of an evolving hypersurface in contact with a solid container driven by the volume-preserving mean curvature flow (MCF) taking line tension effects on the boundary into account. Difficulties arise due to dynamic boundary conditions and due to the contact angle and the non-local nature of the resulting second order, nonl...

Abstract. We study the phase field method for the volume preserving mean curvature flow. Given an initial data which is a measure-theoretic boundary of a Caccioppoli set with a suitable density bound, we prove the existence of the weak solution for the volume preserving mean curvature flow via the reaction diffusion equation with a nonlocal term. We also show the monotonicity formula for the re...
