Tldr We construct a high-order extension of BGN parametric finite element methods for various geometric flows via Runge--Kutta time-stepping; our key contribution is proving algebraic stability and energy decay for all positive time steps where exact stage solutions exist, and numerical verification via Radau IIA experiments.
