Richard Tsai: Level set methods and applications

Level set methods are widely used in numerical computation of evolving domains and their boundaries. In this talk, I will survey some of the applications where the level set methods are applied successfully. I will review the basic building mathematical and computational blocks of a level set method from the point of view of numerical computation. Finally, I will describe some recent developments involving level set methods and boundary integral equations.

Remark: This is the second lecture in a series of "internal colloquia" at KTH. The intended audience is all members in the department (in particular, members from other divisions who would like find out what their colleagues are working on are most welcome.)
