Abstract :
The paper introduces a novel method for controlling the shape of growth interfaces, such as the boundaries of dendritic crystals, described by a temperature-dependent geometrical evolution law, where the normal velocity of the growing interface depends on both local curvature and temperature. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the control approach.
