Abstract: We provide a new approach for computing integrals over hypersurfaces in the level set framework. The method is based on the discretization (via simple Riemann sums) of the classical formulation used in the level set framework, with the choice of specific kernels supported on a tubular neighborhood around the interface to approximate the Dirac delta function. The novelty lies in the choice of kernels, specifically its number of vanishing moments, which enables accurate computations of integrals over a class of closed, continuous, piecewise smooth, curves or surfaces; e.g. curves in two dimensions that contain finite number of corners. We prove that for smooth interfaces, if the kernel has enough vanishing moments (related to the dimension of the embedding space), the analytical integral formulation coincides exactly with the integral one wishes to calculate. For curves with corners and cusps, the formulation is not exact but we provide an analytical result relating the severity of the corner or cusp with the width of the tubular neighborhood. We show numerical examples demonstrating the capability of the approach, especially for integrating over piecewise smooth interfaces and for computing integrals where the integrand is only Lipschitz continuous or has an integrable singularity.
