Abstract: In this paper, we generalize White's regularity and structure theory for mean-convex mean curvature flow to the setting with free boundary. A major new challenge in the free boundary setting is to derive an a priori bound for the ratio between the norm of the second fundamental form and the mean curvature. We establish such a bound via the maximum principle for a triple-approximation scheme, which combines ideas from Edelen, Haslhofer-Hershkovits, and Volkmann. Other important new ingredients are a Bernstein-type theorem and a sheeting theorem for low entropy free boundary flows in a halfslab, which allow us to rule out multiplicity 2 (half-)planes as possible tangent flows and, for mean convex domains, as possible limit flows.
