A new nonlocal nonlinear diffusion equation for image denoising and data analysis
In this paper we introduce and study a new feature-preserving nonlinear
anisotropic diffusion for denoising signals. The proposed partial differential
equation is based on a novel diffusivity coefficient that uses a nonlocal
automatically detected parameter related to the local bounded variation and the
local oscillating pattern of the noisy input signal. We provide a mathematical
analysis of the existence of the solution of our nonlinear and nonlocal
diffusion equation in the two dimensional case (images processing). Finally, we
propose a numerical scheme with some numerical experiments which demonstrate
the effectiveness of the new method
Well-posedness of a nonlinear integro-differential problem and its rearranged formulation
We study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of a nonlinear
integro-differential problem which we reformulate introducing the notion of the
decreasing rearrangement of the solution. A dimensional reduction of the
problem is obtained and a detailed analysis of the properties of the solutions
of the model is provided. Finally, a fast numerical method is devised and
implemented to show the performance of the model when typical image processing
tasks such as filtering and segmentation are performed.Comment: Final version. To appear in Nolinear Analysis Real World Applications

Spectral Representations of One-Homogeneous Functionals
This paper discusses a generalization of spectral representations related to
convex one-homogeneous regularization functionals, e.g. total variation or
-norms. Those functionals serve as a substitute for a Hilbert space
structure (and the related norm) in classical linear spectral transforms, e.g.
Fourier and wavelet analysis. We discuss three meaningful definitions of
spectral representations by scale space and variational methods and prove that
(nonlinear) eigenfunctions of the regularization functionals are indeed atoms
in the spectral representation. Moreover, we verify further useful properties
related to orthogonality of the decomposition and the Parseval identity.
The spectral transform is motivated by total variation and further developed
to higher order variants. Moreover, we show that the approach can recover
Fourier analysis as a special case using an appropriate -type
functional and discuss a coupled sparsity example
