Abstract:

We consider the Total Variation functional $TV(u) = \int \vert \det Du\vert$ which is defined on $W^{1,n}(\Omega,{\mathbf R}^n)$ for $\Omega\subset {\mathbf R}^n$. An extension $TV^p$ is defined by relaxation in the weak topology of $W^{1,p}$ for $p<n$; so the relaxed functional is defined also on maps which may have singularities. In this paper we study the relaxed total variation and find many useful tools to compute the functional on maps which have a singularity in one point.

Keywords: relaxation, Jacobian, Total variation
