We apply the parabolic H\\\"older setting which allows to deal with nonlocal terms including highest order point evaluation. In this direction some theorems concerning the linearized systems is also extended. As an application of our main result we prove that the lens-shaped networks generated by circular arcs are stable under the surface diffusion flow.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-06-29T17:27:25.000Z", "abstract": "We show convergence of solutions to equilibria for fully nonlinear parabolic evolution systems with nonlinear boundary conditions in situations where the set of equilibria is non-discrete, but forms a finite-dimensional $C^2$-manifold which is normally stable.
