Abstract: Suppose that a family of $k$-dimensional surfaces in $mathbb{R}^n$ evolves by the motion law of $v=h+u^{p}erp$ in the sense of Brakke's formulation of velocity, where $v$ is the normal velocity vector, $h$ is the generalized mean curvature vector and $u^{p}erp$ is the normal projection of a given vector field $u$ in a dimensionally sharp integrability class. When the flow is locally close to a time-independent $k$-dimensional plane in a weak sense of measure in space-time, it is represented as a graph of a $C^{1,alpha}$ function over the plane. On the other hand, it is not known if the graph satisfies the PDE of $v=h+u^{p}erp$ pointwise in general. For this problem, when $k=n-1$ and under the additional assumption that the distributional time derivative of the graph is a signed Radon measure, it is proved that the graph satisfies the PDE pointwise. An application to a short-time existence theorem for a surface evolution problem is given.
