Motion By Mean Curvature

In this paper we describe some numerical simulations in the context of mean curvature flow. We recover a few different approaches in modeling the evolution of an interface Σ which evolves according to the law: V=κ+g where V is the velocity in the inward normal direction, κ is the sum of the principal curvatures and g is a given forcing term. We will discuss about the phenomenon of fattening or nonuniqueness of the solution, recalling what is known about this subject. Finally we show some interesting numerical simulations that suggest evidence of fattening starting from different initial interfaces. Of particular interest is the result obtained for a torus in ℝ4 which would be a first example of a regular and compact surface showing evidence of fattening in the case of pure motion by mean curvature (no forcing term).

Flat Flow

Abstract We consider the flat flow solution to the mean curvature equation with forcing in ℝ n {\mathbb{R}^{n}} . Our main result states that tangential balls in ℝ n {\mathbb{R}^{n}} under a flat flow with a bounded forcing term will experience fattening, which generalizes the result in [N. Fusco, V. Julin and M. Morini, Stationary sets and asymptotic behavior of the mean curvature flow with forcing in the plane, preprint 2020, https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.07734] from the planar case to higher dimensions. Then, as in the planar case, we characterize stationary sets in ℝ n {\mathbb{R}^{n}} for a constant forcing term as finite unions of equisize balls with mutually positive distance.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the monotonicity of the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator under a forced mean curvature flow (MCF). By imposing conditions associated with the mean curvature of the initial hypersurface and the coefficient function of the forcing term of a forced MCF, and some special pinching conditions on the second fundamental form of the initial hypersurface, we prove that the first nonzero closed eigenvalues of the Laplace operator and the p-Laplace operator are monotonic under the forced MCF, respectively, which partially generalize Mao and Zhao’s work. Moreover, we give an example to specify applications of conclusions obtained above.
