ADAPTIVE FAST MARCHING AND LEVEL SET METHODS FOR PROPAGATING INTERFACES
J. A. SETHIAN


Abstract.  Adaptivity provides a way to construct optimal algorithms for tracking moving interfaces which arise in a wide collection of physical applications. Here, we summarize the development and interconnection between Narrow Band Level Set Methods and Fast Marching Methods, which provide efficient techniques for tracking fronts. We end with a small collection of examples to demonstrate the applicability of the techniques.
