Abstract

The evolution of n–dimensional graphs under a weighted curvature flow is approximated by linear finite elements. We obtain optimal error bounds for the normals and the normal velocities of the surfacesin natural norms. Furthermore we prove a global existence result for thecontinuous problem and present some examples of computed surfaces.
