Abstract: The behavior of polygonal curves with asymptotic lines to crystalline motion with the bulk effect is discussed. We show sufficient conditions for global existence of the solutions and characterize facet-extinction patterns. We also show the eventual monotonicity of shape of the solution curves, that is, the solutions become V-shaped in finite time.

Keywords:  Crystalline motion, Crystalline curvature, Eventual monotonicity.
