On spiral solutions to generalized crystalline motion with a rotating tip motion (Q2515712)

This short paper considers the problem of generalised crystalline motion with a rotating tip motion and is a continuation of the author's previous work in this area. In [the author, Math. Bohem. 140, No. 2, 111--119 (2015; Zbl 1349.34040)], the linear crystalline motion \(\beta(N_j)V_j=U-H_j\) was considered, where \(V_j, N_j\) and \(H_j\) denote normal velocity, unit normal velocity and crystalline curvature of the \(j\)-th facet (edge) of the solution curve, respectively. In the present paper, the previous results are extended to the generalised crystalline motion \(V_j = g(N_j, H_j)\), where \(g\) satisfies certain conditions. It is concluded that the spiral-shaped solution exists uniquely and globally in time. Moreover, the number of the facets and the winding number of the solution diverge to infinity as \(t\to\infty\).
