Abstract:

We prove that every function $u:\re^{2}\to\re$ of class $C^{1}$, satisfying the Perona-Malik equation $$u{t}=\left(\frac{u{x}}{1+u{x}{2}}\right){x}$$ for every $(x,t)\in\re^{2}$, is a stationary affine solution, \ie\ of the form $u(x,t)=ax+b$, where $a$ and $b$ are suitable real constants.

Keywords: Perona-Malik equation, anisotropic diffusion, entire solution, forward-backward parabolic equation
