Abstract

We study the crystalline curvature flow of planar networks with a single hexagonal anisotropy. After proving the local existence of a classical solution for a rather large class of initial conditions, we classify the homothetically shrinking solutions having one bounded component. We also provide an example of network shrinking to a segment with multiplicity two.
