      The authors present a parametric finite element approximation for the evolution of closed surfaces in \(\mathbb R^3\) moving under given geometric flows such as motion by mean curvature and motion by surface diffusion. The algorithm applies to other second or fourth order geometric evolution equations. In this framework, stability bounds are also derived. In the end of the paper, a large number of numerical computations and comparison results are presented that illustrate the importance of the method.
