Abstract
We present a level set based numerical algorithm for simulating a model of epitaxial growth. The island dynamics model is a continuum model for the gr owth of thin films. In this paper, we emphasize the details of the numerica l method used to simulate the island dynamics model. (C) 2001 Academic Pres s.
