Abstract
Semi-Lagranging schemes have been explored by several authors recently for transport problems in particular for moving interfaces using level set method. We incorporate the backward error compensation method developed in [2] into the semi-Lagranging schemes with almost the same simplicity and three times the complexity of a first order semi-Lagranging scheme but improve the order of accuracy. When applying this simple semi-Lagranging scheme to the level set method in interface computation, we observe good improvement comparable to results computed with other more complicated methods.
