Abstract

In this paper we consider the weak formulation of the inverse anisotropic mean curvature flow, in the spirit of Huisken–Ilmanen [$\href{ https://dx.doi.org/10.4310/jdg/1090349447}{15}$]. By using approximation method involving Finsler‑$p$-Laplacian, we prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions.
