Abstract

We study the motion of discrete interfaces driven by ferromagnetic interactions on the two-dimensional triangular lattice by coupling the Almgren, Taylor and Wang minimizing movements approach and a discrete-to-continuum analysis, as introduced by Braides, Gelli and Novaga in the pioneering case of the square lattice. We examine the motion of origin-symmetric convex "Wulff-like" hexagons, i.e. origin-symmetric convex hexagons with sides having the same orientations as those of the hexagonal Wulff shape related to the density of the anisotropic perimeter Γ\Gamma-limit of the ferromagnetic energies as the lattice spacing vanishes. We compare the resulting limit motion with the corresponding evolution by crystalline curvature with natural mobility.
