A convergent monotone difference scheme for motion of level sets by mean curvature

A convergent monotone difference scheme for motion of level sets by mean curvature An explicit convergent finite difference scheme for motion of level sets by mean curvature is presented. The scheme is defined on a cartesian grid, using neighbors arranged approximately in a circle. The accuracy of the scheme, which depends on the radius of the circle, dx, and on the angular resolution, d θ, is formally O(dx 2+d θ). The scheme is explicit and nonlinear: the update involves computing the median of the values at the neighboring grid points. Numerical results suggest that despite the low accuracy, acceptable results are achieved for small stencil sizes. A numerical example is presented which shows that the centered difference scheme is non-convergent. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Numerische Mathematik Springer Journals

Abstract

An explicit convergent finite difference scheme for motion of level sets by mean curvature is presented. The scheme is defined on a cartesian grid, using neighbors arranged approximately in a circle. The accuracy of the scheme, which depends on the radius of the circle, dx, and on the angular resolution, d θ, is formally O(dx 2+d θ). The scheme is explicit and nonlinear: the update involves computing the median of the values at the neighboring grid points. Numerical results suggest that despite the low accuracy, acceptable results are achieved for small stencil sizes. A numerical example is presented which shows that the centered difference scheme is non-convergent.
