Abstract:
Discretization of the harmonic map flow into spheres often uses a penalization or projection strategy, where the first suffers from the proper choice of an additional parameter, and the latter from the lack of a discrete energy law, and restrictive mesh-constraints. We propose an implicit scheme that preserves the sphere constraint at every node, enjoys a discrete energy law, and unconditionally converges to weak solutions of the harmonic map heat flow.
