Parabolic Quasilinear Equations Minimizing Linear Growth Functionals (Progress in Mathematics)

"This book is well written...[and] should be of interest to anyone studying image reconstruction and to anyone in PDEs trying to see what kinds of modern applications abound for the subject."

―Mathematical Reviews

"This book is devoted to PDE's of elliptic and parabolic type associated to functionals having a linear growth in the gradient, with a special emphasis on the applications related to image restoration and nonlinear filters.... The book is written with great care, paying also a lot of attention to the bibliographical and historical notes. It is a recommended reading for all researchers interested in this field."

―Zentralblatt Math

"The goal of this mongraph is to present general existence and uniqueness results for quasilinear parabolic equations whose operator is the subdifferential of a convex Lagrangian which has linear growth. Special emphasis is given to the case of the minimizing total variational flow for which the Neumann, Dirichlet, and Cauchy problem are discussed. The developed techniques apply to problems in continuum mechanics, image restoration and faceted crystal growth."
