Convergence of the Allen-Cahn equation to multi-phase mean-curvature flow

We present a convergence result for solutions of the vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation. In the spirit of the work of Luckhaus and Sturzenhecker we establish convergence towards a distributional formulation of multi-phase mean-curvature flow using sets of finite perimeter. Like their result, ours relies on the assumption that the time-integrated energies of the approximations converge to those of the limit.

This is joint work with Thilo Simon (MPI MIS).
