Abstract:
We prove that, if $u$ is a function satisfying all Euler conditions for the Mumford-Shah functional and the discontinuity set of $u$ is given by three line segments meeting at the origin with equal angles, then there exists a neighbourhood $U$ of the origin such that $u$ is a minimizer of the Mumford-Shah functional on $U$ with respect to its own boundary conditions on $\partial U$. The proof is obtained by using the calibration method.
