We consider the Perona-Malik functional in dimension one, namely an integral functional whose Lagrangian is convex-concave with respect to the derivative, with a convexification that is identically zero. We approximate and regularize the…
We present an asymptotic description of local minimization problems, and of quasi-static and dynamic evolutions of scaled Perona-Malik functionals. The scaling is chosen such that these energies $\Gamma$-converge to the Mumford-Shah…

We consider $\mathbb{S}^2$-valued maps on a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ minimizing a perturbation of the Dirichlet energy with vertical penalization in $\Omega$ and horizontal penalization on $\partial\Omega$. We first show the…
We establish a new monotonicity formula for minimizers of the Mumford-Shah functional in planar domains. Our formula follows the spirit of Bucur-Luckhaus, but works with the David-L\'eger entropy instead of the energy. Interestingly, this…

We study the Bogoliubov-Dirac-Fock model introduced by Chaix and Iracane ({\it J. Phys. B.}, 22, 3791--3814, 1989) which is a mean-field theory deduced from no-photon QED. The associated functional is bounded from below. In the presence of…
This paper is concerned with a study of the classical isoperimetric problem modified by an addition of a non-local repulsive term. We characterize existence, non-existence and radial symmetry of the minimizers as a function of mass in the…
