An existence theorem for Brakke flow with fixed boundary conditions

Analysis of PDEs 2021-01-29 v2

Abstract

Consider an arbitrary closed, countably nn-rectifiable set in a strictly convex (n+1)(n+1)-dimensional domain, and suppose that the set has finite nn-dimensional Hausdorff measure and the complement is not connected. Starting from this given set, we show that there exists a non-trivial Brakke flow with fixed boundary data for all times. As tt \uparrow \infty, the flow sequentially converges to non-trivial solutions of Plateau's problem in the setting of stationary varifolds.
