Abstract

We consider random evolution of an interface on a hard wall under periodic boundary conditions. The dynamics are governed by a system of stochastic differential equations of Skorohod type, which is Langevin equation associated with massless Hamiltonian added a strong repelling force for the interface to stay over the wall. We study its macroscopic behavior under a suitable large scale space-time limit and derive a nonlinear partial differential equation, which describes the mean curvature motion except for some anisotropy effects, with reflection at the wall. Such equation is characterized by an evolutionary variational inequality.
