Presented here is the problem of recovering a dynamic image superimposed on a static background. Such a problem is ill-posed and may arise e.g. in imaging through semireflective media, in separation of an illumination image from a reflectance image, in imaging with diffraction phenomena, etc. In this work we study regularization of this problem in spirit of Total Variation and general sparsifyi...

We generalize the notions of Levitin-Polyak well-posedness to an equilibrium problem with both abstract and functional constraints. We introduce several types of generalized Levitin-Polyak well-posedness. Some metric characterizations and sufficient conditions for these types of wellposedness are obtained. Some relations among these types of well-posedness are also established under some suitab...

The initial value problems for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and modified KdV (mKdV) equations under periodic and decaying boundary conditions are considered. These initial value problems are shown to be globally well-posed in all L 2-based Sobolev spaces H s where local well-posedness is presently known, apart from the H 1 4 (R) endpoint for mKdV. The result for KdV relies on a new method for co...

We study the global well-posedness of the Lagrangian averaged Euler equations in three dimensions. We show that a necessary and sufficient condition for the global existence is that the BMO norm of the stream function is integrable in time. We also derive a sufficient condition in terms of the total variation of certain level set functions, which guarantees the global existence. Furthermore, we...

We prove local well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation on right half-line, left half-line, and line segment, in the low regularity setting. This is accomplished by introducing an analytic family of boundary forcing operators.

The quasigeostrophic model is a simpli ed geophysical uid model at asymptotically high rotation rate or at small Rossby number. We consider the quasigeostrophic equation with dissipation under random forcing in bounded domains. We show that global unique solutions exist for appropriate initial data. Unlike the deterministic quasigeostrophic equation whose well-posedness is well-known, there see...
