Analysis of gradient flow of a regularized Mumford-Shah functional for image segmentation and image inpainting

Xiaobing Feng, Andreas Prohl (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper studies the gradient flow of a regularized Mumford-Shah functional proposed by Ambrosio and Tortorelli (1990, 1992) for image segmentation, and adopted by Esedoglu and Shen (2002) for image inpainting. It is shown that the gradient flow with L2 x L∞ initial data possesses a global weak solution, and it has a unique global in time strong solution, which has at most finite number of point singularities in the space-time, when the initial data are in H1 x H1 ∩ L∞. A family of fully...

Analysis of pattern formation using numerical continuation

Vladimír Janovský (2022)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper deals with the issue of self-organization in applied sciences. It is particularly related to the emergence of Turing patterns. The goal is to analyze the domain size driven instability: We introduce the parameter L , which scales the size of the domain. We investigate a particular reaction-diffusion model in 1-D for two species. We consider and analyze the steady-state solution. We want to compute the solution branches by numerical continuation. The model in question has certain symmetries....

Analysis of the free boundary for the p-parabolic variational problem (p ≥ 2).

Henrik Shahgholian (2003)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Abstract Variational inequalities (free boundaries), governed by the p-parabolic equation (p > 2), are the objects of investigation in this paper. Using intrinsic scaling we establish the behavior of solutions near the free boundary. A consequence of this is that the time levels of the free boundary are porous (in N-dimension) and therefore its Hausdorff dimension is less than N. In particular the N-Lebesgue measure of the free boundary is zero for each t-level.

Analysis of total variation flow and its finite element approximations

Xiaobing Feng, Andreas Prohl (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We study the gradient flow for the total variation functional, which arises in image processing and geometric applications. We propose a variational inequality weak formulation for the gradient flow, and establish well-posedness of the problem by the energy method. The main idea of our approach is to exploit the relationship between the regularized gradient flow (characterized by a small positive parameter ε , and the minimal surface flow [21] and the prescribed mean curvature flow [16]. Since our...

Analytic and Geometric Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities

Michel Ledoux (2011)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We survey analytic and geometric proofs of classical logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for Gaussian and more general strictly log-concave probability measures. Developments of the last decade link the two approaches through heat kernel and Hamilton-Jacobi equations, inequalities in convex geometry and mass transportation.

Analytical approximation of the transition density in a local volatility model

Stefano Pagliarani, Andrea Pascucci (2012)

Open Mathematics

We present a simplified approach to the analytical approximation of the transition density related to a general local volatility model. The methodology is sufficiently flexible to be extended to time-dependent coefficients, multi-dimensional stochastic volatility models, degenerate parabolic PDEs related to Asian options and also to include jumps.

Analytical results on a model for damaging in domains and interfaces

Elena Bonetti, Michel Frémond (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper deals with a model describing damage processes in a (nonlinear) elastic body which is in contact with adhesion with a rigid support. On the basis of phase transitions theory, we detail the derivation of the model written in terms of a PDE system, combined with suitable initial and boundary conditions. Some internal constraints on the variables are introduced in the equations and on the boundary, to get physical consistency. We prove the existence of global in time solutions (to a suitable...

Analyticity for some degenerate one-dimensional evolution equations

G. Metafune (1998)

Studia Mathematica

We study the analyticity of the semigroups generated by some degenerate second order differential operators in the space C([α,β]), where [α,β] is a bounded real interval. The asymptotic behaviour and regularity with respect to the space variable are also investigated.
