Abstract.

We study the mean curvature flow of graphs with prescribed contact angle on a fixed, smooth hyperplane in Euclidean space. We obtain long time existence and convergence to a self similar solution of the mean curvature flow orthogonal to the fixed hyperplane.

The results from this paper are partially contained in the author's Ph.D. thesis [Mean curvature flow of graphs with free boundaries, Ph.D. thesis, Freie Universität Berlin, 2011], under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Klaus Ecker at the Freie Universität in Berlin, in the group of Geometric Analysis as a Berlin Mathematical School student. The author would like to thank them for financial support and help during the completion of this paper and her thesis.
