Abstract

In the present paper, we study the existence of Brakke-type weak mean curvature flow satisfying the contact angle condition for general angle θ(0,π) \theta \in ( 0 , \pi ) via Ilmanen's regularization. The main ingredients of the result are the establishment of a compactness theorem for varifolds with the contact angle and the extension of Ilmanen's regularization to the capillarity.

Comments

The paper consists of 28 pages and includes 2 figures. I have corrected the mistakes from the first draft and revised many explanations: We impose assumptions that the first variations are uniformly bounded to prove the compactness theorems. Additionally, we have added a new subsection to estimate the first variations of the construction derived from the elliptic regularization
