First, by constructing a family of self-similar solutions, we give a priori estimates for the radially symmetric solutions and prove the global existence. Then we consider the homogenization limit as $\\ve\\to 0$, and use {\\it the slowest self-similar solution} to characterize the solution, with error $O(1)\\ve^{1/6}$, in some finite time interval.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-26T12:36:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35K93", "35R35", "35C06", "35B27" ], "keywords": [ "mean curvature flow", "propagation", "finite time interval", "slowest self-similar solution", "hypersurface" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
