Large-Time Behavior of Pseudo-Parabolic Equations Associated with Generalized Total Variation Energies

Abstract

In this paper, we study the well-posedness and large-time behavior of a pseudo-parabolic problem associated with a generalized total variation energy in the $BV$-framework. A main mathematical issue arises from the mismatch between the Sobolev regularity of solutions at finite times and the $BV$-structure of the corresponding steady-state problem. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions and investigate the relationship between their large-time behavior and solutions to the steady-state problem. Moreover, our results include the convergence of the solution trajectory to the unique steady-state solution under a typical setting arising in image processing.
