A distributional approach to nonlocal curvature flows

Abstract

In \cite{CMP17} a novel distributional approach has been introduced to provide a well-posed formulation of a class of crystalline mean curvature flows. In this paper, such an approach is extended to the nonlocal setting. Applications include the fractional mean curvature flow and the Minkowski flow; i.e., the geometric flow generated by the $(N-1)$-dimensional Minkowski pre-content.
