Abstract

We introduce a new notion of viscosity solutions for the level set formulation of the motion by crystalline mean curvature in three dimensions. The solutions satisfy the comparison principle, stability with respect to an approximation by regularized problems, and we also show the uniqueness and existence of a level set flow for bounded crystals.

Mean curvature flow Wider flows A hypersurface moves in the direction of its mean curvature vector, which decreases area as fast as possible in the L² sense. Start with: Flow by mean curvature of convex surfaces into spheres (Huisken, 1984) Anisotropic & nonlocal flows Wider flows When surface energy depends on direction, as in crystals, mean curvature flow becomes anisotropic, and the Wulff shape replaces the round sphere. Start with: Crystalline variational problems (Taylor, 1978) Weak & singular flows Running a flow when the data isn't smooth or singularities form: Ricci flows from rough initial data, through singularities and on metric measure… Start with: Deformation of C⁰ Riemannian metrics in the direction of their Ricci curvature (Simon, 2002) Stability & uniqueness When does a flow started near a special solution stay near it, and when is a flow determined by its data? Start with: Uniqueness of the Ricci Flow on Complete Noncompact Manifolds (Chen et al., 2005)
