We consider a scheme of Semi-Lagrangian (SL) type for the numerical solution of Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation on unstructured triangular grids. As it is well known, SL schemes are not well suited for unstructured grids, due to the cost of…

Minimal area surfaces in AdS$_3$ ending on a given curve at the boundary are dual to planar Wilson loops in N=4 SYM. In previous work it was shown that the problem of finding such surfaces can be recast as the one of finding an appropriate…

The AdS/CFT correspondence relates Wilson loops in N=4 SYM theory to minimal area surfaces in AdS5xS5 space. If the Wilson loop is Euclidean and confined to a plane (t,x) then the dual surface is Euclidean and lives in Minkowski AdS3. In…
