Motion of spiral-shaped polygonal curves by nonlinear crystalline motion with a rotating tip motion

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider a motion of spiral-shaped piecewise linear curves governed by a crystalline curvature flow with a driving force and a tip motion which is a simple model of a step motion of a crystal surface. We extend our previous result on global existence of a spiral-shaped solution to a linear crystalline motion for a power type nonlinear crystalline motion with a given rotating tip motion. We show that self-intersection of the solution curves never occurs and also show that facet extinction never occurs. Finally, we show that spiral-shaped solutions exist globally in time.
