Abstract: | Solids can exist in polygonal shapes with boundaries unions of flat -pieces· called· facets. Analyzing the- growth -of such crystalline shapes is an important problem in materials science. In this paper we derive equations that govern the evolution of such shapes; we formulate the corresponding initial-value problem variationally; and we use this formulation to establish a comparison principle for crystalline evolutions. This principle asserts that two evolving crystals one initially inside the other will remain in that configuration for all time. |
