Abstract

In this paper, we consider a generalized fast marching method (GFMM) as a numerical method to compute dislocation dynamics. The dynamics of a dislocation hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^N$ (with $N=2$ for physical applications) is given by its normal velocity which is a nonlocal function of the whole shape of the hypersurface itself. For this dynamics, we show a convergence result of the GFMM as the mesh size goes to zero. We also provide some numerical simulations in dimension $N=2$.
