In particular, we address the special setting of an obstacle problem, where anisotropic particles move on an inhomogeneous substrate. By suitable modification of the surface energies we construct an approximate energy that uses a single convolution kernel and is monotone with respect to the convolution width. This allows us to prove that the approximate energies Γ-converge to their sharp interface counterpart.Mean curvature flowAnisotropic & nonlocal flowsHomogeneous spacesPhase fields & multiphase flows
