Abstract

In this paper we analyze the motion of a network of three planar curves with a speed proportional to the curvature of the arcs, having perpendicular intersections with the outer boundary and a common intersection at a triple junction. As a main result we show that a linear stability criterion due to Ikota and Yanagida [13] is also sufficient for nonlinear stability. We also prove local and global existence of classical smooth solutions as well as Various energy estimates. Finally, we prove exponential stabilization of ail evolving network starting from the vicinity of a linearly stable stationary network.
