Piecewise Constant Level Set Method for Interface Problems

Abstract

We apply the Piecewise Constant Level Set Method (PCLSM) to interface problems, especially for elliptic inverse and multiphase motion problems. PCLSM allows using one level set function to represent multiple phases, and the interfaces are represented implicitly by the discontinuity of a piecewise constant level set function. The inverse problem is solved using a variational penalization method with total variation regularization of the coefficient, while the multiphase motion problem is solved by an Additive Operator-Splitting scheme.
