Stability and bifurcation of equilibria for the axisymmetric averaged mean curvature flow (Q2252222)

Summary: We study the averaged mean curvature flow, also called the volume preserving mean curvature flow, in the particular setting of axisymmetric surfaces embedded in \(\mathbb R^3\) satisfying periodic boundary conditions. We establish analytic well-posedness of the flow within the space of little-Hölder continuous surfaces, given rough initial data. We also establish dynamic properties of equilibria, including stability, instability, and bifurcation behavior of cylinders, where the radius acts as a bifurcation parameter.
