A phase-field approximation of the Willmore flow with volume constraint

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The well-posedness of a phase-field approximation to the Willmore flow with volume constraint is established. The existence proof relies on the underlying gradient flow structure of the problem: the time discrete approximation is solved by a variational minimization principle.
