Mean curvature flow with obstacles: existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions

Analysis of PDEs 2014-09-26 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We show short time existence and uniqueness of \C1,1\C^{1,1} solutions to the mean curvature flow with obstacles, when the obstacles are of class \C1,1\C^{1,1}. If the initial interface is a periodic graph we show long time existence of the evolution and convergence to a minimal constrained hypersurface.
