| contents | Error estimates are proved for an evolving surface finite element semi-discretization for anisotropic mean curvature flow of closed surfaces. For the geometric surface flow, a system coupling the anisotropic evolution law to parabolic evolution equations for the surface normal and normal velocity is derived, which then serve as the basis for the proposed numerical method. The algorithm for anisotropic mean curvature flow is proved to be convergent in the $H^1$-norm with optimal-order for finite elements of degree at least two. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate and complement our theoretical results. |
