Abstract:

The evolution by horizontal mean curvature flow (HMCF) is a partial differential equation in a sub-Riemannian setting with application in IT and neurogeometry (see Citti-Franceschiello-Sanguinetti-Sarti, 2016). Unfortunately this equation is difficult to study, since the horizontal normal is not always well defined. To overcome this problem the Riemannian approximation was introduced. In this article we define a stochastic representation of the solution of the approximated Riemannian mean curvature using the Riemannian approximation and we will prove that it is a solution in the viscosity sense of the approximated mean curvature flow, generalizing the result of Dirr-Dragoni-von Renesse, 2010.
