Minimizing movements for forced anisotropic curvature flow of droplets

Abstract

We study forced anisotropic curvature flow of droplets on an inhomogeneous horizontal hyperplane. As in [Bellettini, Kholmatov: J. Math. Pures Appl. (2018)] we establish the existence of smooth flow, starting from a regular droplet and satisfying the prescribed anisotropic Young's law, and also the existence of a 1/21/2-H\"older continuous in time minimizing movement solution starting from a set of finite perimeter. Furthermore, we investigate various properties of minimizing movements, including comparison principles, uniform boundedness and the consistency with the smooth flow.
