Abstract
We propose a thresholding algorithm for Willmore-type flows in \mathbb{R}^{N} . This algorithm is constructed based on the asymptotic expansion of the solution to the initial value problem for a fourth-order linear parabolic partial differential equation whose initial data is the indicator function on the compact set \Omega_{0} . The main results of this paper demonstrate that the boundary \partial\Omega(t) of the new set \Omega(t) , generated by our algorithm, is included in O(t) -neighborhood of \partial\Omega_{0} for small t>0 and that the normal velocity from \partial\Omega_{0} to \partial\Omega(t) is nearly equal to the L^{2} -gradient of Willmore-type energy for small t>0 . Finally, numerical examples of planar curves governed by the Willmore flow are provided by using our thresholding algorithm.
