Asymptotic Analysis of Models for Geometric Motions

<p dir="ltr">In Chapter 1, we introduce geometric motions from the general perspective of gradient flows. Here we develop the basic framework in which to pose the two main results of this thesis.</p><p dir="ltr">In Chapter 2, we examine the pinch-off phenomenon for a tubular surface moving by surface diffusion. We prove the existence of a one parameter family of pinching profiles obeying a long wavelength approximation of the dynamics.</p><p dir="ltr">In Chapter 3, we study a diffusion-based numerical scheme for curve shortening flow. We prove that the scheme is one time-step consistent.</p>
