Numerical study of a new global minimizer for the Mumford-Shah functional in R3
In [Progress Math.233 (2005)], David suggested the existence of a new type of global minimizers for the Mumford-Shah functional in . The singular set of such a new minimizer belongs to a three parameters family of sets . We first derive necessary conditions satisfied by global minimizers of this family. Then we are led to study the first eigenvectors of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with Neumann boundary conditions on subdomains of with three reentrant corners. The necessary conditions are...
