Abstract
Interface problems have many applications. Mathematically, interface problems usually lead to differential equations whose input data and solutions are non-smooth or discontinuous across some interfaces. The immersed interface method (IIM) has been developed in recent years particularly designed for interface problems. The IIM is a sharp interface method based on Cartesian grids. The IIM makes use of the jump conditions across the interface so that the finite difference/element discretization can be accurate. In this survey paper, we will introduce the immersed interface method for various problems, discuss its recent advances and related software packages, and some of its applications. We also review some other related methods and references in this survey paper.
