A stochastic selection principle in case of fattening for curvature flow (Q5956935)

The evolution of a hypersurface in \(R^n\) moving by mean curvature plus a forcing term has attracted a lot of attention. In case of nonuniqueness of the solutions, phenomenon of fattening may appear. A small white noise \(\varepsilon dW\) is added in the evolution equation and short-time existence is proved for this stochastic equation. The case of two disjoint circles moving in \(R^2\) is investigated in more details. If \(\varepsilon\) goes to \(0\), the stochastic forcing selects in the limit two evolving curves, the upper and lower barriers.
