Qualitative Properties for a System Coupling Scaled Mean Curvature Flow and Diffusion

Helmut Abels, Felicitas Bürger, Harald Garcke

英文摘要:

We consider a system consisting of a geometric evolution equation for a hypersurface and a parabolic equation on this evolving hypersurface. More precisely, we discuss mean curvature flow scaled with a term that depends on a quantity defined on the surface coupled to a diffusion equation for that quantity. Several properties of solutions are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on to what extent the surface in our setting qualitatively evolves similar as for the usual mean curvature flow. To this end, we show that the surface area is strictly decreasing but give an example of a surface that exists for infinite times nevertheless. Moreover, mean convexity is conserved whereas convexity is not. Finally, we construct an embedded hypersurface that develops a self-intersection in the course of time. Additionally, a formal explanation of how our equations can be interpreted as a gradient flow is included.
