On an obstacle problem for the Brakke flow with a generalized right-angle boundary condition

Abstract

We study Brakke's mean curvature flow with obstacles and with a right-angle boundary condition. Assuming that the obstacles have C1,1C^{1,1}-boundaries we prove that a weak solution exists globally in time. To show the existence we apply the phase-field method and thus investigate the singular limit of the Allen-Cahn equation with forcing term and homogeneous Neumann bounday condition. We also construct sub- and supersolutions that correspond to the obstacles.
