We prove that the limit hypersurfaces of converging curvature flows are stable, if the initial velocity has a weak sign, and give a survey of the existence and regularity results.

We consider a diffuse-interface model for two-phase incompressible viscous flows with a soluble surfactant in a bounded porous medium. This hydrodynamic system consists of a Darcy--Forchheimer equation for the seepage velocity…

We consider the reduced Allen-Cahn action functional, which appears as the sharp interface limit of the Allen-Cahn action functional and can be understood as a formal action functional for a stochastically perturbed mean curvature flow. For…

In this paper, we study the skew mean curvature flow. The results are threefold. First, we prove the global regularity of solutions with initial data which are small perturbations of planes in Sobolev spaces. Second, we prove the modified…

By a symmetric double graph we mean a hypersurface which is mirror-symmetric and the two symmetric parts are graphs over the hyperplane of symmetry. We prove that there is a weak solution of mean curvature flow that preserves these…

An existence and uniqueness result, up to fattening, for crystalline mean curvature flows with forcing and arbitrary (convex) mobilities, is proven. This is achieved by introducing a new notion of solution to the corresponding level set…

We prove that the spacetime Brakke flow constructed by Buet et al. is non-trivial as long as the initial varifold is a union of boundaries of domains of finite perimeter. In the codimension 1 setting, we show that, starting from a smooth…

A kind of problems of radially symmetric transient fluid flow in a medium with a geometry similar to a hollow-disk can be addressed using the finite Hankel transform. However, the inverse Hankel transform [G. Cinelli, Int. J. Engng. Sci.,…
