Introduction curvature flow with a singular interfacial energy on Γ 2 t R V = M( n) ( κγ + σ) γ = γθ ( ): n = (cos θ,sin θ ) : interfacial energy density normal of Γ t n κ = ( γ ( θ) + γ( θ)) κ : γ σ : driving force, M ( n ) > 0: γ + γ =Σc δ( θ a ) k k weighted curvature mobility crystalline energy: typical singular energy! Γ t 3

4 1. Typical Problems: ( σ :given) ( a ) u = (sgn u ) + σ ( x), x R, t > 0 t x x with I.C. ux (,0) = u 0 More generally, ( b ) t x x x u = a( u )[( W ( u )) +σ ( x)] W : convex, a > 0 ( W( p) = p, a 1) a const Non divergence form 4

5 Feature Energy density W has jump discontinuities so that diffusion is singular. ( a ) is of the form u δ u u σ x = 2 ( ) + ( ). t x xx 5

6 Source of Problems (ⅰ) Total variation flow: (a) (ⅱ) Crystalline curvature flow with (b) driving force term: W( p) : piecewise linear, convex 2 1/2 a( p) = (1 + p ), σ = constant Angenent-Gurtin 89, Taylor 91 6

7 Further Applications (Vertical Diffusion) Burgers eq. u + uu = 0 V t = y on Γ (*) t x Γ = {( xy, ); y= uxt (, )} (graph of u) t A solution of (*) may overturn and cannot be viewed as the graph of entropy solution. Consider V = y M div pγ( n), γ( p1, p2) = p2 instead of (*), where M > 0. 7

8 Thm (M.-H. Giga Y. G. 03) If M > 0 is sufficiently large (with respect to jump size), then overturn is prevented and Γ t becomes the graph of entropy solution at least for Riemann problem. cf. Y. G. 02, Y.-H. R. Tsai Y.G. Osher 02, Y. Brenier: 09 formulation by an obstacle function 8

9 Notion of Solutions (1) Subdifferential formulation: (a) (not (b)) u Goal: Extend the theory for depending on! t E( u) σ : general Fukui-Y.G. 96 (2) Viscosity approach: (b) a = const Mi-Ho Giga-Y.G. 98, 99, 01 σ : const, u + F( u, ( W ( u )) + σ ) = 0 x t x x x σ 9

10 Nonlocal Quantity Consider simplest eq ( W( p) = p, σ 0) u = (sgn u ). t x x What is the speed of the facet (flat part)? a b x Assume facet stays as facet b+ δ a δ Crystalline flow u = W ( δ ) W ( + δ ) t 2 ut = ( δ 0) b a δ = u ( a δ), δ = u ( b+ δ) for admissible polygon. x x 10

11 What is the quality Non uniform σ σ W x x Λ ( u) ( x) = ( W ( u )) +σ ( x)? Λ σ W In general is not constant on the facet so that facet may break. 11

12 Speed of Evolution (a) Thm (Komura, Brezis - Pazy) H : Hilbert space, E : convex, lower semicontinuous, There exists unique solution solving Moreover, u is right differentiable for all t > 0 and canonical restriction / minimal section: [ ) [ δ ] u C(0,, H) AC(, T, H) du E( u) a.e. t 0, u(0) u0. dt > = + d u dt = 0 = H E( u) argmin{ f ; f E( u)} 0 Eu ( ). u0 H Solution knows how to evolve! 12

13 How to calculate the Speed Eu Wu xu x H 2 ( ) = { ( x ) σ( ) } d, T= R/ Z, = L ( T), T f E( u) f = η σ, η( x) W( u ( x)), f = 0 0 E( u) x 0 2 f f x f T = argmin{ d ; = η σ, x x η( x) W( u ( x)) }. x Obstacle type condition at the place where the slope belongs to the jump of W. 13

14 Explicit Solutions (1) Angenent-Gurtin, Taylor (2) σ : const σ σ σ admissible polygon ( x) = ( x), > 0, e.g. a( p) = (1 + p ) x Explicit solution starting with u. (bending solution) /2 Nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi equations with unusual free boundary Y.G.-Gorka-Rybka (2010?) Y.G.-Rybka (2009) [M.-H. Giga-Y.G. 98 for (a)] 14

15 2. Variational Characterization Λ σ W From (a) we learn the speed is given by solving an obstacle problem. I = ( a, b), W( p) = p for simplicity. Admissible set K I η χχ H I η η a χ η b χ 1 () = { (): 1, () =, () } + = +, ( χ χ takes either or + 1 )

16 Energy and Curvature J ( w, I ) = w + σ χ χ dx + I w χ χ+ = arg min{ J ( w, I) w= η, η K ( I)} 0 χ χ x χ χ u :faceted with slope zero on with transition number Define χ χ + σ ( ) ( ): ( ) ( ), W u x w χ χ + 0 x σ x x I Λ = + I 16

17 Transition number of near facet u I χ = 1 χ + = 1 a graph of u I b χ, χ + takes either or + χ = +1 χ + = 1 χ : left transition number a I b χ + : right transition number 1 if ux ( ) ua ( ) for x anear a χ = 1 if ux ( ) ua ( ) for x anear a 17

18 Example (1) σ W u x w 0 x σ x Λ ( ) ( ) = ( ) + ( ) graph of u I (2) σ W u x w + 0 x σ x Λ ( ) ( ) = ( ) + ( ) + graph of u I 18

20 Nonconstant Driving Force: Reformulation Better to rewrite problems: Formally set ξ x = w+ σ Kχ χ I ξ H I Z ξ Z + 1 ( ) = { ( ) : (obstract condition) ξ( a) = Z( a) χ, ξ( b) = Z( b) + χ ( BC..)} + Here x Z( x) = σ dx: primitive of σ. { } 2 χχ χχ + w0 + σ : = argmin ξ dx ξ K I + 20

21 Obstacle Problem optimal ξ Ex. σ ( x) = 2 x, I = ( a, a) χ = 1, χ = 1 + a: not small a 0 a graph of u ξ = const. on I I is calibrable (Cheeger set) I speed profile ( = ξ ) 21

22 Comparison of curvatures Assume: σ is locally Lipschitz on R. Lemma u u 1 2, u : faceted on I ( i = 1, 2) i i u = u on I I Λ σ W Λ σ 1 W 2 ( u ) ( x) ( u ) ( x) for x I I 1 2 u 1 u 2 22

23 Stability Lemma χ χ 0 + Λ ( χ, χ, I, x) = w ( x) + σ( x), x I + For each r > 0 up{ Λ( χ, χ, I, x) Λ( χ, χ, I μ, x μ) : + + I < r, x I} 0 as μ 0. 23
