Sören Bartels: Finite element approximation of functions of bounded variation

Various phenomena involving free boundaries such as damage or plasticity require the description of physical quantities with discontinuous functions. One approach to their mathematical modeling is based on the space of functions of bounded variation which includes functions that are discontinuous and may jump across lower dimensional subsets. Numerical methods for their approximate solution are often based on regularizations which typically lead to restrictive conditions on discretization parameters. We try to avoid such modifications and discuss the convergence of discretizations with different finite element spaces, the iterative solution of the resulting finite-dimensional nonlinear systems of equations, and adaptive mesh-refinement techniques based on rigorous a posteriori error estimates for a model problem related to image processing. The application of the techniques to total variation flow, very singular diffusion processes, and segmentation problems will be addressed.
