    The authors study the evolution of hypersurfaces in spacetime initial data sets by their null mean curvature. They develop a theory of weak solutions with the help of the level-set approach and showed that there exists a weak solution to the null mean curvature flow, given as a limit of approximate solutions that are defined using the $\varepsilon$-regularization method. The approximate solutions blow up on the outermost MOTS and the weak solution converges (as boundaries of finite perimeter sets) to a generalized MOTS are also investigated.
