  Project A1: Numerical solution of transient geometric differential equations 
 
This project deals with numerical methods for evolutionary geometric differential equations with mathematical or physical background. The aim is to design and implement algorithms for Willmore Flow, Surface Diffusion and for minimal surfaces in the Minkowski space in order to gain insight into the dynamic behaviour of solutions of these problems. Plan is, to prove stability, convergence and error estimates. The common feature of all the equations is that the motion of a surface or an interface is driven by curvature effects.
