Double phase image restoration (Q2033250)

The double phase functional was introduced by Zhikov in 1980 and intensively studied by many authors after 2015 in different aspects as double phase problems, regularity of solutions, Calderon-Zigmund estimets, etc. In the present article, the authors study the potential of double phase functional in the image processing domain. The functional is considered in the space BV of functions of bounded variation. A detailed Introduction is given, followed by two sections of preliminaries on the functional and BV spaces. The main result is Theorem 4.1 formulated and proved in Section 4. It is for \(\Gamma\)-convergence of considered functional in space \(L^1\).
