Weak solutions of inverse mean curvature flow for hypersurfaces with boundary

We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces with boundary under inverse mean curvature flow. The boundary condition is of Neumann type, i.e. the evolving hypersurface moves along, but stays perpendicular to, a fixed supporting hypersurface. In this setup, we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. Furthermore, we indicate the existence of a monotone quantity which is the analog of the Hawking mass for closed hypersurfaces.
