Nonlinear stability results for the modified Mullins-Sekerka and the surface diffusion flow

Analysis of PDEs 2016-06-16 v1

Abstract

It is shown that any three-dimensional periodic configuration that is strictly stable for the area functional is exponentially stable for the surface diffusion flow and for the Mullins-Sekerka or Hele-Shaw flow. The same result holds for three-dimensional periodic configurations that are strictly stable with respect to the sharp-interface Ohta-Kawaski energy. In this case, they are exponentially stable for the so-called modified Mullins-Sekerka flow.
