We propose a thresholding algorithm for Willmore-type flows in RN. This algorithm is constructed based on the asymptotic expansion of the solution to the initial value problem for a fourth-order linear parabolic partial differential equation whose initial data is the indicator function on the compact set Ω0​. The main results of this paper demonstrate that the boundary ∂Ω(t) of the new set Ω(t), generated by our algorithm, is included in O(t)-neighborhood of ∂Ω0​ for small t>0 and that the normal velocity from ∂Ω0​ to ∂Ω(t) is nearly equal to the L2-gradient of Willmore-type energy for small t>0. Finally, numerical examples of planar curves governed by the Willmore flow are provided by using our thresholding algorithm.
