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,

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.
