The author reviews some recent work on numerical algorithms for solving the problems where interfaces move with speed that depends on the local curvature. It is shown that algorithms based on direct parametrizations of the moving front face considerable difficulties. This is because such algorithms adhere to local properties of the solution, rather than the global structure. The global properties of the motion can be captured by embedding the surface in a higher-dimensional function and the equations can then be solved by using numerical techniques borrowed from hyperbolic conservation laws. This new scheme is applied to a variety of propagation problems, demonstrating cusp formation, breaking and merging. The problem of a dumbbell collapsing in \(R^ 3\) under its mean curvature and showing the development of a singularity as the handle pinches off is discussed in detail. | |||

The author reviews some recent work on numerical algorithms for solving the problems where interfaces move with speed that depends on the local curvature. It is shown that algorithms based on direct parametrizations of the moving front face considerable difficulties. This is because such algorithms adhere to local properties of the solution, rather than the global structure. The global properties of the motion can be captured by embedding the surface in a higher-dimensional function and the equations can then be solved by using numerical techniques borrowed from hyperbolic conservation laws. This new scheme is applied to a variety of propagation problems, demonstrating cusp formation, breaking and merging. The problem of a dumbbell collapsing in \(R^ 3\) under its mean curvature and showing the development of a singularity as the handle pinches off is discussed in detail.
