Whoops, yes...that is what I meant...actually that is what I had in NDSolve:
dg/dt=norm(Grad g)*Div(Grad g/Norm (Grad g))...

Hi Christopher,
something is fishy with your expression:
dg/dt = Norm(Grad g) * Laplacian(Grad g / Norm (Grad g))
On the left side you have a scalar.
On the right side you have Laplacian(Grad g ...) what is a vector.
Maybe you mean Div( Grad g / Norm (Grad g))?????

I'm getting some results, but it seems like I'm getting too much precision where I don't need it, and not enough where I do. I'm wondering if playing with the options would be something worth trying. Also it takes a really long time to compute what I've been told should take seconds with a C++ routine. > > If I want to solve a PDE of three variables (t,x,y) on the region {0,1}^3, how can I tell NDSolve to have, say a resolution of N x N points for (x,y) and a resolution of M for t? I find that if I just reduce the max points for t, then NDSolve quits before gets to the end of the interval. Maybe there is a way to tell NDSolve to trash some intermediate results and just keep every Mth point?
