Local minimality results for the Mumford–Shah functional via monotonicity

Dorin Bucur, Ilaria Fragalà and Alessandro Giacomini

Vol. 13 (2020), No. 3, 865–899
Abstract

Let Ω 2 be a bounded piecewise C1,1 open set with convex corners, and let

MS(u) :=Ω|u|2dx + α1(J u) + βΩ|u g|2dx

be the Mumford–Shah functional on the space SBV(Ω), where g L(Ω) and α,β > 0. We prove that the function u H1(Ω) such that

Δu + βu = βg in Ω, uν = 0  on  Ω

is a local minimizer of MS with respect to the L1-topology. This is obtained as an application of interior and boundary monotonicity formulas for a weak notion of quasiminimizers of the Mumford–Shah energy. The local minimality result is then extended to more general free discontinuity problems taking into account also boundary conditions.

Keywords
local minimality, monotonicity formulas, free discontinuity functionals
