Long Time Dynamics of Spherical Objects Governed by Surface Tension

This thesis is devoted to the study of evolutionary partial differential equations describing the motion of spherical objects in two different physical scenarios. They share the common feature of involving the mean curvature operator, hence relating to motions governed by surface tension. The mean c...
