Review text

The authors consider the behavior for large times of the (pseudo) solution of the Dirichlet problem for the equation \(u_ t=Au+h(x),\) \(x\in \Omega\), \(t>0\) where A is the minimal surface operator \(Au=div((1+| \text{grad} u|^ 2)^{-{1\over2}} \text{grad} u)\) and h is a given function. Conjectures are first given: when h is small enough the solution tends to a stationary solution of the corresponding elliptic problem while when h is large enough the solution develops a rising elliptic cap on a maximal subset of \(\Omega\). Under hypotheses on h yielding a concave u(.,t) on \(\Omega\) and in the radially symmetric setting the above conjectured behavior is proved. Finally, numerical computations show the development of the rising elliptic cap.
