contents In this work, we show the short-time existence of solutions of the evolution equations that represent the solid state dewetting of thin films through evaporation-condensation as a two dimensional sharp interface variational model. The evolution law is established as the $L^2$ gradient flow of surface energies in the presence of epitaxial strain. The main novelty is the presence of moving contact lines when the film formation is governed by the evaporation-condensation method.
