Elementary discrete diffusion/redistancing schemes for the mean curvature flow

Analysis of PDEs 2026-03-30 v2

Abstract

We consider a fully discrete and explicit scheme for the mean curvature flow of boundaries, based on an elementary diffusion step and a precise redistancing operation. We give an elementary convergence proof for the scheme under the standard CFL condition h\e2h\sim\e^2, where hh is the time discretization step and \e\e the space step. We discuss extensions to more general convolution/redistancing schemes.
