Abstract

We consider a semidiscrete finite element approximation for a system consisting of the evolution of a planar curve evolving by forced curve shortening flow inside a given bounded domain (Formula presented.), such that the curve meets the boundary (Formula presented.) orthogonally, and the forcing is a function of the solution of a reaction–diffusion equation that holds on the evolving curve. We prove optimal order (Formula presented.) error bounds for the resulting approximation and present numerical experiments.
