Abstract:

We study the mean curvature motion of a droplet flowing by mean curvature on a horizontal hyperplane with a possibly nonconstant prescribed contact angle. Using the minimizing movements method we show the existence of a weak evolution, and its compatibility with a distributional solution. We also prove various comparison results.

Keywords: Sets of finite perimeter, minimizing movements, Mean curvature flow with prescribed contact angle, capillary functional
