Abstract

We prove that if a one-parameter family of varifolds has an L2L^2 normal velocity vv in the sense of Brakke, and if the family is represented as the graph of a continuous function ff with continuous spatial derivative f\nabla f, then ff has weak derivatives tf,2fL2\partial_t f, \nabla^2 f \in L^2, and vv 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 Lp,qL^{p,q} and C0,αC^{0,\alpha} are strong and classical solutions to the forced mean curvature flow equation, respectively.
