We study the motion of an $n$-dimensional closed spacelike hypersurface in a Lorentzian manifold in the direction of its past directed normal vector, where the speed equals a positive power $p$ of the mean curvature. We prove that for any…
We consider a linearised model of incompressible inviscid flow. Using a regularisation based on the Hodge Laplacian we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for smooth domains. The model problem is then discretised using…
We consider a finite difference approximation of mean curvature flow for axisymmetric surfaces of genus zero. A careful treatment of the degeneracy at the axis of rotation for the one dimensional partial differential equation for a…
We consider self-similar solutions to mean curvature evolution of entire Lagrangian graphs. When the Hessian of the potential function $u$ has eigenvalues strictly uniformly between -1 and 1, we show that on the potential level all the…
We prove that the limit hypersurfaces of converging curvature flows are stable, if the initial velocity has a weak sign, and give a survey of the existence and regularity results.
We develop a stabilized cut finite element method for the convection problem on a surface based on continuous piecewise linear approximation and gradient jump stabilization terms. The discrete piecewise linear surface cuts through a…
The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to establish sufficient conditions under which the mean curvature flow supported on a hypersphere with exterior Dirichlet boundary exists globally in time and converges to a minimal surface,…
We study the obstacle problem associated to mean curvature flow. We add to the geometric vanishing-viscosity approximation of Evans and Spruck a singular perturbation that penalizes the violation of the constraint, and pass to the limit.…
A low-order finite element method is constructed and analysed for an incompressible non-Newtonian flow problem with power-law rheology. The method is based on a continuous piecewise linear approximation of the velocity field and piecewise…
We consider finite element approximations of ill-posed elliptic problems with conditional stability. The notion of {\emph{optimal error estimates}} is defined including both convergence with respect to mesh parameter and perturbations in…
We prove the following unique continuation result: if a solution to the level set equation for mean curvature flow in a mean-convex domain agrees to infinite order at the point where it attains its maximum with the solution for a ball, then…
We consider embedded hypersurfaces evolving by fully nonlinear flows in which the normal speed of motion is a homogeneous degree one, concave or convex function of the principal curvatures, and prove a non-collapsing estimate: Precisely,…
In this paper we study semi-discrete and fully discrete evolving surface finite element schemes for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a logarithmic potential. Specifically we consider linear finite elements discretising space and backward…
For a given smooth convex cone in the Euclidean $(n+1)$-space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ which is centered at the origin, we investigate the evolution of strictly mean convex hypersurfaces, which are star-shaped with respect to the center of the…
We consider mean curvature flow of an initial surface that is the graph of a function over some domain of definition in $R^n$. If the graph is not complete then we impose a constant Dirichlet boundary condition at the boundary of the…
We consider a convex Euclidean hypersurface that evolves by a volume or area preserving flow with speed given by a general nonhomogeneous function of the mean curvature. For a broad class of possible speed functions, we show that any closed…
We carry out the first main step towards the construction of new examples of complete embedded self-similar surfaces under mean curvature flow. An approximate solution is obtained by taking two known examples of self-similar surfaces and…
This paper proposes two contributions to the calculation of free surface flows using the particle finite element method (PFEM). The PFEM is based on a Lagrangian approach: a set of particles defines the fluid. Then, unlike a pure Lagrangian…
In this paper, the author derives an $O(h^4)$-superconvergence for the piecewise linear Ritz-Galerkin finite element approximations for the second order elliptic equation $-\nabla \cdot(A\nabla u)= f$ equipped with Dirichlet boundary…
Phase transition problems on curved surfaces can lead to a panopticon of fascinating patterns. In this paper we consider finite element approximations of phase field models with a spatially inhomogeneous and anisotropic surface energy…
