The study of the mean curvature flow from the perspective of partial differential equations began with Gerhard Huisken's pioneering work in 1984. Since that time, the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces has been a lively area of study.…

Approximations of the Dirac delta distribution are commonly used to create sequences of smooth functions approximating nonsmooth (generalized) functions, via convolution. In this work, we show a priori rates of convergence of this…

The paper is concerned with the error analysis of a numerical scheme for the approximation of parametric mean curvature flow. The scheme we study is based on a reparametrization using the DeTurck trick and was proposed by Elliott and Fritz…
