Brakke inequality and the existence of Brakke-flow for volume preserving mean curvature flow

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new notion of Brakke inequality for volume preserving mean curvature flow. We show the existence of integral varifolds solving the flow globally-in-time in the corresponding Brakke sense using the phase field method. Morever, such varifolds are solutions to volume preserving mean curvature flow in the $L^2$-flow sense as well. We thus extend a previous result by one of the authors [25].
