Abstract

We show that limits of Mumford-Shah minimizers in product domains Ω = Ω′× (0,t), t small, are Mumford-Shah minimizers in one less dimension. The main ingredient of the proof is a symmetry argument from Dal Maso, Morel, and Solimini.

Résumé

On montre que les limites de segmentations minimales pour la fonctionnelle de Mumford-Shah dans des domaines produits \( \Omega = \Omega'\times (0,t)\), avec t petit, sont des segmentations minimales de Mumford-Shah dans \(\Omega '\). La démonstration repose sur un argument de symétrie de Dal Maso, Morel, et Solimini.
