Fractional Perimeter, Fractional Mean Curvature Flows, Asymptotic behavior of solutionsAbstract
In this note, we present some recent results in the study of the fractional mean curvature flow, that is a geometric evolution of the boundary of a set whose speed is given by the fractional mean curvature. The flow under consideration is of nonlocal type and presents several interesting difference with respect to the classical mean curvature flow. We will describe the main contributions in this field, with particular emphasis on some tipically nonlocal behaviors which are in contrast with the classical local case.
