The Cauchy Problem

In this paper, we investigate the life-span of classical solutions to hyperbolic inverse mean curvature flow. Under the condition that the curve can be expressed in the form of a graph, we derive a hyperbolic Monge–Ampère equation which can be reduced to a quasilinear hyperbolic system in terms of Riemann invariants. By the theory on the local solution for the Cauchy problem of the quasilinear hyperbolic system, we discuss life-span of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem of hyperbolic inverse mean curvature.

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).

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.
