Fronts propagating with curvature-dependent speed: Algorithms based on Hamilton-Jacobi formulations (Q1112576)

New methodologies are formulated for following fronts propagating with curvature-dependent speed, which models, among other things, crystal growth and flame propagation. The algoritms are based on an approximation of the Hamilton-Jacobi formulations for such problems. The paper is carefully written with numerical exemplification (including detailed graphics) which shows that the numerical schemes accurately capture the formation of sharp gradients and cusps in the moving fronts.
