On a limiting motion and self-intersections for the intermediate surface diffusion flow

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer review

Abstract

We rigorously prove that the solution surface of the intermediate surface diffusion flow converges to that of the averaged mean curvature flow locally in time as the diffusion coefficient tends to infinity. As an application of this convergence result, we show that the intermediate surface diffusion flow can drive embedded hypersurfaces into self-intersections.
