Brakke's inequality for the thresholding scheme
Abstract
We continue our analysis of the thresholding scheme from the variational viewpoint and prove a conditional convergence result towards Brakke's notion of mean curvature flow. Our proof is based on a localized version of the minimizing movements interpretation of Esedoglu and the second author. We apply De Giorgi's variational interpolation to the thresholding scheme and pass to the limit in the resulting energy-dissipation inequality. The result is conditional in the sense that we assume the time-integrated energies of the approximations to converge to those of the limit.
