Abstract
We prove that if a one-parameter family of varifolds has an normal velocity in the sense of Brakke, and if the family is represented as the graph of a continuous function with continuous spatial derivative , then has weak derivatives , and coincides with the usual normal velocity of the graph. Moreover, by combining this result with parabolic regularity theory, we show that graphical Brakke flows with forcing term in and are strong and classical solutions to the forced mean curvature flow equation, respectively.
