We show in this case that the gradient flow is related to a weak, generalized formulation of the Hele-Shaw flow. The equivalence follows from a variational representation, which is a variant of well-known variational representations for the Hele-Shaw problem. As a consequence we get existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to the Hele-Shaw flow. We also obtain an explicit representation for the Total Variation flow in one dimension and easily deduce basic qualitative properties, concerning in particular the \"staircasing effect\".", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-10-11T12:42:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gradient flow", "one-homogeneous functional", "hele-shaw flow", "total variation flow", "well-known variational representations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1109.6765B" } } }
