SOLUTIONS OF FOURTH-ORDER PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS IN A NOISE REMOVAL MODEL

QIANG LIU, ZHENGAN YAO, YUANYUAN KE

Abstract. In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a fourth-order partial differential equation stemmed from image processing for noise removal. We also present some numerical tests for high order filters.

1. Introduction

We study the fourth-order initial-boundary value problem

∂u

∂t + ∂2

∂x2

= 0 (x, t)∈QT, (1.1)

u(0, t) =u(1, t) =u0(0, t) =u0(1, t) = 0 t∈(0, T), (1.2)

u(x,0) =u0(x) x∈I, (1.3)

where I = (0,1), QT =I×(0, T) and Φ : R→R+ is anN function; i.e. Φ(·) is even, continuous, convex with Φ>0 fort >0,

limt→0

Φ(t)

t →0 and lim

t→±∞

Φ(t)

|t| →+∞. (1.4)

Here we assume that Φ satisfies the ∆2-condition:

Φ(2ξ)≤KΦ(ξ), |ξ| ≥R, (1.5)

whereK >2 andR are two positive constants.

In recent years, many nonlinear PDEs are proposed to deal with the trade- off between noise removal and edge preservation. Among them, the fourth-order parabolic PDEs have drawn great interest [4, 7, 11, 12, 18, 19, 20]. Since they seek to minimize a cost functional which is an increasing function of the absolute value of the Laplacian of the image intensity function, they could decrease the staircasing property which may be undesirable under some circumstances [4, 15]. In general, the forms of fourth-order PDEs are analogous with the second order ones. For example, in [18], You and Kaveh proposed equation

ut=−∆(g(∆u)∆u),

whereg(s) = 1/(1 +s2), which is analogous with the Perona-Malik model [13]. In [12], Lysakeret al used the equation

ut=−∆ ∆u

|∆u|

,

which is similar to TV model [14]. In [8], Didas used the equation (1.1) with Φ(x) = 2λ √

λ2−x2−λ

, whereλ >0 and it is the Charbonnier filter [3].

Our model includes a class of more general equations [3, 8], e.g. Φ(s) = 1p|s|p, p > 1. When p= 2, a linear filter could be obtained. While this filter has very strong isotropic smoothing properties and does not preserve edges very well. One should then decrease pin order to preserve the edges as much as possible, that is to say fast diffusion is desired. There are some other functions which satisfy the conditions (1.4) and (1.5), for example:

Φ(s) =|s|ln(1 +|s|), and

Φ(s) =|s|Lk(|s|),

whereLi(s) = ln(1 +Li−1(s)) (i= 1,2, . . . , k) andL0(s) = ln(1 +|s|), see [9, 16].

Although the effectiveness of fourth order diffusion equations for noise removal has been proposed in [4, 6, 7, 11, 12, 18], very little has been known about theo- retical analysis. We refer to [17], Chapter 4 for a nonlinear equation with double- degeneracy, [10] for traveling wave solutions in one dimension, [5] for the existence and uniqueness of (1.1) for Φ0(s) = arctan(s), [11] for the existence of a fourth order PDE by variational methods and [19] for a generalized thin film equation.

It is worth while mentioning that the initial data is chosen by the original image generally. We take the zero boundary value conditions for convenience, which corresponds to padding the boundary of the image with black.

The plan of the paper is the following. In Section 2, we state some preliminaries and the main theorem. Section 3 is devoted to the proofs of our main results and Section 4 deals with some numerical experiments using finite difference methods by an explicit scheme.

2. Preliminaries and Main Result

In the following sections we always assume Φ(·) is a function satisfied the condi- tion (1.4) and (1.5). Then the N-function Ψ(·) which conjugates to Φ(·) is defined by

Ψ(s) = sup

t∈R

{t·s−Φ(t)}.

We have the following Young’s inequality,

s·t≤Φ(s) + Ψ(t).

For all|s|> R, we get (see [1, 16])

Φ(s)≤Φ0(s)s≤(K−1)Φ(s) (2.1)

and

0≤Ψ(Φ0(s)) = Φ0(s)s−Φ(s)≤(K−2)Φ(s). (2.2) For anys, t∈R, we have (see [1, 16])

0(s)−Φ0(t))·(s−t)≥0. (2.3)

(3)

Lemma 2.1([1, 16]). IfΨconjugates toΦ, then there exist positive numbersp >1, R >0,R0 >0,K1>0 andK2>0 such that for all s, t∈R,

Φ(s)≤K1|s|p, |s| ≥R, (2.4) Ψ(t)≥K2|t|p0, |t| ≥R0, p0= p

p−1. (2.5)

Lemma 2.2 ([2, 16]). Suppose{fj} ⊂L1(I;R)satisfies that Z

I

Φ(fj)dx≤C,

where C is a positive constant. Then there exist a subsequence {fmj} ⊂ {fj} and a function f ∈L1(I;R)such that

fmj * f weakly inL1(I,R)asj→ ∞ with

Z

I

Φ(f)dx≤lim inf

j→∞

Z

I

Φ(fmj)dx≤C.

Now we define the weak solution of problem (1.1)–(1.3).

Definition 2.3. Let T be a fixed positive constant. A functionu : QT → R is called a weak solution of the problem (1.1)–(1.3), if the following conditions are fulfilled:

(1) u∈C([0, T];L2(I))∩L(0, T;W02,1(I)) andRR

QTΦ ∂x2u2

dx dt <+∞.

(2) For anyϕ∈C0(QT), Z Z

QT

−u∂ϕ

∂t + Φ02u

∂x22ϕ

∂x2 dx dt= 0.

(3) u(x,0) =u0(x) in L2(I).

We state our main result as follows.

Theorem 2.4. Letu0∈L2(I)withR

IΦ(∂x2u20)dx≤Cand compatibility conditions on {0,1} × {t = 0}. Then problem (1.1)–(1.3) admits one and only one weak solution.

3. Proof of the Main Theorem

We use the time discrete method to construct an approximate solution. Divide the interval (0, T) into N equal segments and denote h = T /N. Consider the problem:

1

h(uk+1−uk) + d2

dx2Φ0 d2uk+1

dx2

= 0, (3.1)

uk+1(0) =uk+1(1) =u0k+1(0) =u0k+1(1) = 0, (3.2) wherek= 0,1, . . . , N−1, andu0 is the initial data.

Lemma 3.1. For uk ∈ L2(I), the problem (3.1)-(3.2) admits one and only one weak solutionuk+1∈W02,1(I), such that for anyφ(x)∈C0(I),

1 h

(4)

and

Z 1

Φ d2uk+1

dx2

dx≤C, whereC is a constant depended only on kukkL2(I) andh.

Proof. We investigate the functional defined onW02,1(I) by E(v) = 1

(v−uk)2dx+ Z 1

We choosev= 0, then

0≤ inf

v∈W02,1(I)

E(v)≤E(0) = 1 2h

Z 1

u2kdx.

By lemma 2.2, we can extract a minimizing sequence{vn}n=1⊂W02,1(I) such that E(vn)→ inf

v∈W02,1(I)

E(v), as n→ ∞, and

Z 1

|vn|2dx+ Z 1

Φ d2vn dx2

dx≤C.

By (1.4) and Lemma 2.2, we may find a subsequence {vnj}j=1 ⊂ {vn}n=1 and a functionuk+1, such thatvnj * uk+1 weakly inW02,1(I) and

Z 1

0

Φ d2uk+1

dx2

≤C.

Since Φ(s) is convex and by relaxation, we have thatuk+1is a weak solution of the problem (3.1)–(3.2).

Assume uk+1 andvk+1 are both solutions of the problem (3.1)–(3.2). Then for everyφ(x)∈C0(I), we have

1 h

Z 1

(uk+1−vk+1)φdx+ Z 1

Φ0 d2uk+1 dx2

−Φ0 d2vk+1 dx2

By (2.2) and the approximation argument, we could take φ(x) = uk+1−vk+1 as the test function. We get

dx= 0.

By (2.3), the two terms on the left hand side are both nonnegative. We get uk+1=vk+1 a.e. inI. Then the proof is complete.

Letχh,j(t) be the indicator function of [h(j−1), hj). We construct an approxi- mate function by

uh(x, t) =

N

X

j=1

χh,j(t)uj−1(x) with uh(x,0) =u0(x).

whereC is a constant independent ofh.

Proof. Noticing thatC0(I) is dense inW02,1(I), we may chooseφ(x)∈W02,1(I) as the test function in (3.3). Letφ(x) =uk+1 in (3.3). Then

Then (3.4) is obtained.

Lettingφ(x) =uk+1−uk in (3.3), we obtain 1

Since the first term of above equality is nonnegative, by Young’s inequality and (2.2), we have

Thus

For anymwith 1≤m≤N−1, summing up the above inequality forkfrom 0 tom−1, we have

(6)

So we get (3.5) and the proof is complete.

Lemma 3.3. For the weak solutionuk+1 of (3.1)–(3.2), we have

−Ch≤ Z 1

0

|uk+1|2− |uk|2dx≤0, (3.7) whereC is a positive constant independent ofh.

Proof. The second inequality of (3.7) is obvious by (3.6). Choosingφ(x) =uk in (3.3), we have

1 h

Z 1

(uk+1−uk)ukdx+ Z 1

So by Young’ inequality and inequality (2.2), we have 1

By (3.5) of Lemma 3.2, we have Z 1

Therefore, Z 1

Thus, we obtain that 1 2

So the proof of this lemma is complete.

By Lemma 2.2, Lemma 3.2 and Corollary 3.4, we can draw a subsequence{uh}, denoted still by{uh}, such that

And by lemma 2.1,

Z Z

for somep0>1. Thus, we may extract a subsequence fromξh, denoted still by ξh, such that

ξh* ξ weakly inLp0(Ω).

Since Ψ(s) is a convex function, we obtain Z Z

Lettingh→0 in (3.8), we have in the sense of distributions

. By (3.9), u is the weak solution of the problem (1.1)–(1.3).

Next, we prove the uniqueness of the weak solution of the problem (1.1)–(1.3).

Suppose there exist two weak solutionsuandv. Using an approximation technique (see [17, 19]), for any test functionϕ(x, t)∈C( ¯QT), we have

4. Numerical experiments

After the theoretical analysis, we shall do some numerical tests of higher order filters in practice to compare our model with the other well-known models of [13, 18].

In our model, we take Φ(s) = |s|ln(1 +|s|). For convenience, we are in favor of implementation of an explicit Euler method, i.e.

uk+1−uk

∆t + ∂2

∂x2Φ02uk

∂x2

= 0, (x, t)∈QT.

For each figure, we use 1 for space steps, 0.2 for time steps of figure (c) and 0.001 for time steps of figures (d) and (e). Steady state was achieved for figure (d) and figure (e) in less than 20000 iterations. In figure (c), we fixed the number of iterations to 1500.

Fig.1 (a) shows the initial signal and (b) the noisy signal. By the figures from (c) to (e), we could conclude that the second order filtering yields enhancement of edges and staircase-like structures, the fourth order filtering results tend to be piecewise linear with enhanced curvature. At the same time we could also see that the fourth order filtering is further affirmed by the almost piecewise constant derivative which is also shown in Figure 1.
