Ergodicity of stochastic curve shortening flow in the plane (Q2882316)

With a view to stochastic mean curvature flow as a refined model incorporating the influence of thermal noise, the authors think of a general model describing the increments in the normal direction of an evolving surface. They consider variants of this model in the two-dimensional graph case when the surface is just a cord in the two-dimensional \((x, y)\)-plane which can be parametrized as the graph of a function \(u\). Moreover, the cord is imposed to be pinned to the \(x\) axis at its end points, resulting in Dirichlet boundary conditions on \(u\). They also try to prove the existence of uniquely defined generalized solutions to some nonlinear boundary value problems for \(u\) in the variational SPDE framework without assuming the coercivity, but an alternative Ljapunov condition. Finally, they study the long-term behavior of the introduced models.
