“…Recently, Esedoglu and Otto extended the threshold dynamics method to the multi-phase problems with arbitrary surface tension [12]. There have been many studies on the MBO threshold dynamics method, including some efficient implementations [26,27,30] and convergence analysis [3,5,14,17]. In particular, Laux and collaborators established the convergence of some computational algorithms including one with volume preservation [19,20].The generalization of MBO-type methods to the wetting problem where interfaces intersecting the boundary is not straightforward because of a lack of integral representation with a heat kernel for a general domain.In the original MBO scheme, when the interface does not intersect the solid boundary, one can solve the heat equation efficiently on a rectangular domain with a uniform grid using convolution of the heat kernel with the initial condition [26,27].…”
