Abstract: We show short time existence and uniqueness of $C^{1,1}$ solutions to the mean curvature flow with obstacles, when the obstacles are of class $C^{1,1}$. If the initial interface is a periodic graph we show long time existence of the evolution and convergence to a minimal constrained hypersurface.

Review text

The authors prove short-time existence and uniqueness of \(C^{1,1}\) solutions of the mean curvature flow with obstacles when the obstacles are of class \(C^{1,1}\). If the initial interface is a periodic graph, global existence of solution is proved and they also prove that the solution converges to a minimal constrained hypersurface.
