Level set methods constitute an important field of numerical methods for curve and surface evolutions. They have been introduced by Osher and Sethian in 1988. In the meantime they are used in numeruous applications including semiconductor manufactoring, shortest path algorithms, collision avoidance of airplanes, robotics, image processing, computer vision, computer graphics, and computational fluid dynamics. The goal of this seminar is to understand the basic principles behind level set methods and to learn about their various applications. Some basic knowledge in numerical analysis is helpful. The talks can be given in German or English.
