We consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to an obstacle problem for the mean curvature flow equation by using a game-theoretic approximation, to which we extend that of Kohn and Serfaty (2006). Kohn and Serfaty (2006) give a…

Accurate prediction of the macroscopic flow parameters needed to describe flow in porous media relies on a good knowledge of flow field distribution at a much smaller scale---in the pore spaces. The extent of the inertial effect in the pore…

We propose a level-set method for a mean curvature flow whose boundary is prescribed by interpreting the boundary as an obstacle. Since the corresponding obstacle problem is globally solvable, our method gives a global-in-time level-set…

We consider the smooth inverse mean curvature flow of strictly convex hypersurfaces with boundary embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1},$ which are perpendicular to the unit sphere from the inside. We prove that the flow hypersurfaces converge to…
