Mean curvature flow through singularities for surfaces of rotation (Q1904555): Difference between revisions

The authors consider generalized ``viscosity'' solutions of the mean curvature evolution equation. Much of the paper is devoted to the case of initial values given by a compact, smooth, rotationally symmetric hypersurface obtained by rotating a graph around an axis. The authors prove the regularity of the solutions except at isolated points and give an estimate on the number of such points.
