Review text

The main result of this paper is to demonstrate that a free boundary problem for grain boundary curves arises as the limiting dynamics of the equation \[ \theta_t = - \varepsilon\Delta^2\theta + \varepsilon^{-1} \Delta (| \nabla\theta| ^2 -1)\nabla\theta. \] A matched asymptotic analysis is used to derive a free boundary problem consisting of curve motion coupled along hyperbolic characteristics and junction conditions.
