Abstract:

In this survey we present the state of the art about the asymptotic behavior and stability of the modified Mullins–Sekerka flow and the surface diffusion flow of smooth sets, mainly due to E. Acerbi, N. Fusco, V. Julin and M. Morini. After discussing in detail the properties of the nonlocal Area functional under a volume constraint, of which the two flows are the gradient flow with respect to suitable norms, we show that, in dimensions two and three, for initial sets sufficiently “close” to a smooth strictly stable critical set E for such functional, both flows exist for all positive times and asymptotically “converge” to a translate of E.
