Fast level set based algorithms using shape and topological sensitivity information
We consider general surface energies, which are weighted integrals over a closed surface with a weight function depending on the position, the unit normal and the mean curvature of the surface. Energies of this form have applications in many areas, such as materials science, biology and image processing. Often one is interested in finding a surface that minimizes such an energy, which entails finding its first variation with respect to perturbations of the surface. We present a concise derivation...

Dans ce travail: (1) on caractérise l’espace des fonctionnelles invariantes par un groupe compact G opérant linéairement et continûment sur un espace vectoriel topologique localement convexe séparé et séquentiellement complet E plus précisément, on montre que est le dual topologique du sous-espace des vecteurs de E qui sont G-invariants. (2) On étudie les courants basiques sur une variété feuilletée (V,ℱ). On obtient alors, dans le cas où le feuilletage est associé à une action localement...
The distributional -dimensional Jacobian of a map in the Sobolev space which takes values in the sphere can be viewed as the boundary of a rectifiable current of codimension carried by (part of) the singularity of which is topologically relevant. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the range of the Jacobian operator; in particular, we show that any boundary of codimension can be realized as Jacobian of a Sobolev map valued in . In case is polyhedral, the map we construct...
