VARIATIONAL EVOLUTION PROBLEMS AND NONLOCAL GEOMETRIC MOTION 7 MIKHAIL FELDMAN 9 9 1 Abstract. We consider two variational evolution problems related to Monge- t Kantorovich mass transfer. These problems provide models for collapsing sand- c piles and for compression molding. We prove the following connection between O these problems and nonlocal geometric curvature motion: The distance functions to surfaces moving according to certain nonlocal geometric laws are solutions of the 5 variational evolution problems. Thus we do the first step of the proof of heuristics ] developed in earlier works. The main techniques we use are differential equations P methods in the Monge-Kantorovich theory. A . h t In this paper we study two models involving limits as p → ∞ of solutions of p- a m Laplacian evolution problems. One is a model of collapsing sandpiles proposed by L. [ C. Evans, R. F. Gariepy and the author [EFG97]. Another is a model of compression 1 molding proposed by G. Aronsson and L. C. Evans [AE]. In both models the limits v were characterized as solutions of variational evolution problems related to Monge- 6 Kantorovich mass transfer. Solutions that have the form of the distance function to 0 2 a moving boundary arise naturally in the both models. The equations of the motion 0 of the boundary for both models were derived heuristically in [EFG97] and [AE]. 1 7 According to the equations the outer normal velocity of the boundary at a point 9
