Proofs are based on -convexity assumption
for many interesting cases likeDirichlet energy

To prove that Thin-Film and related equations are well-posed
using Gradient Flow method
Ideas are to
Study the Convexity Along the Flow( depends might change along the flow)
Use the Dissipation of the Energy (convexity on energy sub-levels)
Relaxed
Our Goal
-convexity assumption

Restricted -convexity
E is restricted -convexat with if such that E is -convex along geodesics connecting any pair of points inside

Theorem I
E is Restricted -convex at .
Then the Gradient Flow of E starting from
Exists and is Unique at least locally in time.

Theorem II
The Dirichlet energy is
restricted -convex
on positive measures (on ).
Periodic solutions of the Thin-Film equation exist and are unique on positive data.
