In this paper we investigate the numerical approximation of a variant of the mean curvature flow. We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces with normal speed given by $H^k$, $k \ge 1$, where $H$ denotes the mean curvature. We use a level…
In this paper we consider finite element approaches to computing the mean curvature vector and normal at the vertices of piecewise linear triangulated surfaces. In particular, we adopt a stabilization technique which allows for first order…
An algorithm is proposed for generalized mean curvature flow of closed two-dimensional surfaces, which include inverse mean curvature flow, powers of mean and inverse mean curvature flow, etc. Error estimates are proven for semi- and full…
A proof of convergence is given for semi- and full discretizations of mean curvature flow of closed two-dimensional surfaces. The numerical method proposed and studied here combines evolving finite elements, whose nodes determine the…
Optimal-order uniform-in-time $H^1$-norm error estimates are given for semi- and full discretizations of mean curvature flow of surfaces in arbitrarily high codimension. The proposed and studied numerical method is based on a parabolic…
We study the flow $M_t$ of a smooth, strictly convex hypersurface by its mean curvature in $\mathrm{R}^{n+1}$. The surface remains smooth and convex, shrinking monotonically until it disappears at a critical time $T$ and point $x^*$ (which…
A proof of convergence is given for a novel evolving surface finite element semi-discretization of Willmore flow of closed two-dimensional surfaces, and also of surface diffusion flow. The numerical method proposed and studied here…
We consider the numerical approximation of axisymmetric mean curvature flow with the help of linear finite elements. In the case of a closed genus-1 surface, we derive optimal error bounds with respect to the $L^2$-- and $H^1$--norms for a…
This paper concerns the evolution of a closed convex hypersurface in ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$, in direction of its inner unit normal vector, where the speed is given by a smooth function depending only on the mean curvature, and satisfies some…
Error estimates are proved for an evolving surface finite element semi-discretization for anisotropic mean curvature flow of closed surfaces. For the geometric surface flow, a system coupling the anisotropic evolution law to parabolic…
We use the evolving surface finite element method to solve a Cahn- Hilliard equation on an evolving surface with prescribed velocity. We start by deriving the equation using a conservation law and appropriate transport for- mulae and…
This paper proves error estimates for $H^2$ conforming finite elements for equations which model the flow of surfaces by different powers of the mean curvature (this includes mean curvature flow). for an adapted scheme originally proposed…
We consider a numerical scheme for the approximation of a system that couples the evolution of a two--dimensional hypersurface to a reaction--diffusion equation on the surface. The surfaces are assumed to be graphs and evolve according to…
The paper addresses the numerical approximation of two variants of hyperbolic mean curvature flow of surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$. For each evolution law we propose both a finite element method, as well as a finite difference scheme in the…
We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with normal velocity given by a positive power of the mean curvature. The hypersurfaces under consideration are assumed to be strictly mean convex (positive mean curvature),…
We study a variant of the mean curvature flow for closed, convex hypersurfaces where the normal velocity is a nonhomogeneous function of the principal curvatures. We show that if the initial hypersurface satisfies a certain pinching…
Parametric finite elements lead to very efficient numerical methods for surface evolution equations. We introduce several computational techniques for curvature driven evolution equations based on a weak formulation for the mean curvature.…
An evolving surface finite element discretisation is analysed for the evolution of a closed two-dimensional surface governed by a system coupling a generalised forced mean curvature flow and a reaction--diffusion process on the surface,…
This paper addresses the approximation of the mean curvature flow of thin structures for which classical phase field methods are not suitable. By thin structures, we mean surfaces that are not domain boundaries, typically higher codimension…
We study the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in $\R^{n+1}$, with initial surfaces sufficiently close to the standard $n$-dimensional sphere. The closeness is in the Sobolev norm with the index greater than $\frac{n}{2}+1$ and therefore…
