Travelling graphs for the forced mean curvature motion in an arbitrary space dimension

Analysis of PDEs 2011-07-06 v1

Abstract

We construct travelling wave graphs of the form z=ct+ϕ(x)z=-ct+\phi(x), ϕ:xRN1ϕ(x)R\phi: x \in \mathbb{R}^{N-1} \mapsto \phi(x)\in \mathbb{R}, N2N \geq 2, solutions to the NN-dimensional forced mean curvature motion Vn=c0+κV_n=-c_0+\kappa (cc0c\geq c_0) with prescribed asymptotics. For any 1-homogeneous function ϕ\phi_{\infty}, viscosity solution to the eikonal equation Dϕ=(c/c0)21|D\phi_{\infty}|=\sqrt{(c/c_0)^2-1}, we exhibit a smooth concave solution to the forced mean curvature motion whose asymptotics is driven by ϕ\phi_{\infty}. We also describe ϕ\phi_{\infty} in terms of a probability measure on SN2\mathbb{S}^{N-2}.
