Generalized motion by nonlocal curvature in the plane (Q5953972): Difference between revisions

The authors consider the level-set solutions for a general planar anisotropic curvature flow when the anisotropic curvature effect is nonlocal due to a singular interfacial energy. They introduce a new notion of solutions leading to a comparison principle and stability results. A new technique called slicing, and which is not limited to nonlocal curvature flow equations, converts the level-sets of solutions into graph-like functions. The approach establishes the convergence of the crystalline anisotropic flow to the anisotropic curvature flow with smooth interfacial energy.
