# Large-time behavior for a PDE model of isothermal grain boundary motion with a constraint

• In this paper, a system of parabolic initial-boundary value problems is considered as a possible PDE model of isothermal grain boundary motion. The solvability of this system was proved in [preprint, arXiv:1408.4204., by means of the notion of weighted total variation. In this light, we set our goal to prove two main theorems, which are concerned with the $\Gamma$-convergence for time-dependent versions of the weighted total variations, and the large-time behavior of solution.
