Variational Nonlinear and Nonlocal Curvature Flows

Abstract

We prove that the minimizing movements scheme \'a la Almgren-Taylor-Wang converges towards level-set solutions to a nonlinear version of nonlocal curvature flows with time-depending forcing term, in the rather general framework of variational curvatures introduced in \cite{ChaMorPon15}. The nonlinearity involved is assumed to satisfy minimal assumptions, namely continuity, monotonicity, and vanishing at zero. Under additional assumptions only on the curvatures involved, we establish uniqueness for level-set solutions.
