Abstract

Suppose that a closed 11-rectifiable set Γ0R2\Gamma_0\subset \mathbb R^2 of finite 11-dimensional Hausdorff measure and a vector field uu in a dimensionally critical Sobolev space are given. It is proved that, starting from Γ0\Gamma_0, there exists a non-trivial flow of curves with the velocity given by the sum of the curvature and the given vector field uu. The motion law is satisfied in the sense of Brakke and the flow exists through singularities.
