Convergence to V-shaped fronts in curvature flows for spatially non-decaying initial perturbations

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the long time behavior for evolution of a curve governed by a curvature flow with constant driving force in the two-dimensional space. This problem has two types of traveling waves: traveling lines and V-shaped fronts, except for stationary circles. Studying the Cauchy problem, we deal with moving curves represented by entire graphs on the $x$-axis. In this paper, we consider the uniform convergence of curves to the V-shaped fronts. Convergence results for a class of spatially non-decaying initial perturbations are established. Our results hold true with no assumptions on the smallness of given perturbations.
