AbstractWe prove a gradient estimate for graphical spacelike mean curvature flow with a general Neumann boundary condition in dimension n = 2. This then implies that the mean curvature flow exists for all time and converges to a translating solution.

We prove convergence of solutions to the parabolic Allen–Cahn equation to Brakke's motion by mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below. Our results hold for a general class of initial conditions and extend previous results from [T. Ilmanen, Convergence of the Allen–Cahn equation to the Brakke's motion by mean curvature, J. Differential Geom. 31 (1993) 417–461] even in Euclidean space. We show that a sequence of measures, associated to energy density of solutions of the parabolic Allen–Cahn equation, converges in the limit to a family of rectifiable Radon measures, which evolves by mean curvature flow in the sense of Brakke. A key role is played by nonpositivity of the limiting energy discrepancy and a local almost monotonicity formula (a weak counterpart of Huisken's monotonicity formula) proved in [Allen–Cahn approximation of mean curvature flow in Riemannian manifolds, I, uniform estimates, to appear in Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci.; arXiv:1308.0569], to get various density bounds for the limiting measures.

Stable Hybrid

In this paper, we investigate motion by mean curvature using the Allen–Cahn (AC) equation in two and three space dimensions. We use an unconditionally stable hybrid numerical scheme to solve the equation. Numerical experiments demonstrate that we can use the AC equation for applications to motion by mean curvature. We also study the curve-shortening flow with a prescribed contact angle condition.

Neumann Type

AbstractWe consider the evolution of hypersurfaces with boundary under inverse mean curvature flow. The boundary condition is of Neumann type, i.e. the evolving hypersurface moves along, but stays perpendicular to, a fixed supporting hypersurface. In this setup, we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. Furthermore, we indicate the existence of a monotone quantity which is the analog of the Hawking mass for closed hypersurfaces.
