Convergence of Perturbed Allen Cahn Equations to Forced Mean Curvature Flow
Luca Mugnai and Matthias Röger
Abstract
We study perturbations of the Allen--Cahn equation and prove the convergence to forced mean curvature flow in the sharp interface limit. We allow for perturbations that are square-integrable with respect to the diffuse surface area measure. We give a suitable generalized formulation for forced mean curvature flow and apply previous results for the Allen--Cahn action functional. Finally we discuss some applications.
