We present a second order accurate in time numerical scheme for curve shortening flow in the plane that is unconditionally monotone. It is a variant of threshold dynamics, a class of algorithms in the spirit of the level set method that…

We develop a numerical method for realizing mean curvature motion of interfaces separating multiple phases, whose areas are preserved throughout time. The foundation of the method is a thresholding algorithm of the Bence-Merriman-Osher…

Second-order optimization methods exhibit fast convergence to critical points, however, in nonconvex optimization, these methods often require restrictive step-sizes to ensure a monotonically decreasing objective function. In the presence…

We show that accelerated gradient descent, averaged gradient descent and the heavy-ball method for non-strongly-convex problems may be reformulated as constant parameter second-order difference equation algorithms, where stability of the…

The threshold dynamics method developed by Merriman, Bence and Osher (MBO) is an efficient method for simulating the motion by mean curvature flow when the interface is away from the solid boundary. Direct generalization of MBO-type methods…

We present a new accelerated stochastic second-order method that is robust to both gradient and Hessian inexactness, which occurs typically in machine learning. We establish theoretical lower bounds and prove that our algorithm achieves…

Simulations of motion by mean curvature in bounded domains, with applications to bubble motion and grain growth, rely upon boundary conditions that are only approximately compatible with the equation of motion. Three closed form solutions…

This study presents an efficient, accurate, effective and unconditionally stable time stepping scheme for the Darcy-Brinkman equations in double-diffusive convection. The stabilization within the proposed method uses the idea of stabilizing…

Our main objective in this paper is to develop a second-order stochastic numerical method which generalizes the well-known deterministic TR-BDF2 scheme. Since most stochastic techniques used for approximating the solution of a stochastic…

In this paper, we study higher-order-accurate-in-time minimizing movements schemes for Wasserstein gradient flows. We introduce a novel accelerated second-order scheme, leveraging the differential structure of the Wasserstein space in both…

We analyze the continuum limit of a thresholding algorithm for motion by mean curvature of one dimensional interfaces in various space-time discrete regimes. The algorithm can be viewed as a time-splitting scheme for the Allen-Cahn equation…

Efforts to achieve better accuracy in numerical relativity have so far focused either on implementing second order accurate adaptive mesh refinement or on defining higher order accurate differences and update schemes. Here, we argue for the…

The median filter scheme is an elegant, monotone discretization of the level set formulation of motion by mean curvature. It turns out to evolve every level set of the initial condition precisely by another class of methods known as…

Two-step predictor/corrector methods are provided to solve three classes of problems that present themselves as systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In the first class, velocities are given from which displacements are to be…

New criteria for energy stability of multi-step, multi-stage, and mixed schemes are introduced in the context of evolution equations that arise as gradient flow with respect to a metric. These criteria are used to exhibit second and third…

In this paper we establish the convergence of three computational algorithms for interface motion in a multi-phase system, which incorporate bulk effects. The algorithms considered fall under the classification of thresholding schemes, in…

The transition between the two phases of 4D Euclidean Dynamical Triangulation [1] was long believed to be of second order until in 1996 first order behavior was found for sufficiently large systems [5,9]. However, one may wonder if this…

The porous medium equation (PME) is a typical nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation. An energetic variational approach has been studied in a recent work [6], in which the trajectory equation is obtained, and a few first order accurate…

A class of second-order algorithms is proposed for minimizing smooth nonconvex functions that alternates between regularized Newton and negative curvature steps in an iteration-dependent subspace. In most cases, the Hessian matrix is…

The transition between the two phases of 4D Euclidean Dynamical Triangulation [1] was long believed to be of second order until in 1996 first order behavior was found for sufficiently large systems [3,4]. However, one may wonder if this…
