We derive boundary gradient estimates for the mean curvature flow. As an application, the existence of the mean curvature flow of graphs is presented. A key argument is a boundary monotonicity formula of a Huisken type derived using reflected backward heat kernels. Furthermore, we provide regularity conditions for the transport terms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-12T07:18:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35K93", "53C44", "35B65" ], "keywords": [ "mean curvature flow", "neumann boundary conditions", "transport terms", "derive boundary gradient estimates", "boundary monotonicity formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
