    Uncertainty Quantification in Image Segmentation Using the Ambrosio–Tortorelli Approximation of the Mumford–Shah Energy
    (Dordrecht [u.a.] : Springer Science + Business Media B.V, 2021) Hintermüller, Michael; Stengl, Steven-Marian; Surowiec, Thomas M.
    The quantification of uncertainties in image segmentation based on the Mumford–Shah model is studied. The aim is to address the error propagation of noise and other error types in the original image to the restoration result and especially the reconstructed edges (sharp image contrasts). Analytically, we rely on the Ambrosio–Tortorelli approximation and discuss the existence of measurable selections of its solutions as well as sampling-based methods and the limitations of other popular methods. Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical findings.

    A generalized $Gamma$-convergence concept for a type of equilibrium problems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Hintermüller, Michael; Stengl, Steven-Marian
    A novel generalization of Γ-convergence applicable to a class of equilibrium problems is studied. After the introduction of the latter, a variety of its applications is discussed. The existence of equilibria with emphasis on Nash equilibrium problems is investigated. Subsequently, our Γ-convergence notion for equilibrium problems, generalizing the existing one from optimization, is introduced and discussed. The work ends with its application to a class of penalized generalized Nash equilibrium problems and quasi-variational inequalities.

    Optimality conditions and Moreau--Yosida regularization for almost sure state constraints
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Geiersbach, Caroline; Hintermüller, Michael
    We analyze a potentially risk-averse convex stochastic optimization problem, where the control is deterministic and the state is a Banach-valued essentially bounded random variable. We obtain strong forms of necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for problems subject to equality and conical constraints. We propose a Moreau--Yosida regularization for the conical constraint and show consistency of the optimality conditions for the regularized problem as the regularization parameter is taken to infinity.

    Constrained exact boundary controllability of a semilinear model for pipeline gas flow
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Gugat, Martin; Habermann, Jens; Hintermüller, Michael; Huber, Olivier
    While the quasilinear isothermal Euler equations are an excellent model for gas pipeline flow, the operation of the pipeline flow with high pressure and small Mach numbers allows us to obtain approximate solutions by a simpler semilinear model. We provide a derivation of the semilinear model that shows that the semilinear model is valid for sufficiently low Mach numbers and sufficiently high pressures. We prove an existence result for continuous solutions of the semilinear model that takes into account lower and upper bounds for the pressure and an upper bound for the magnitude of the Mach number of the gas flow. These state constraints are important both in the operation of gas pipelines and to guarantee that the solution remains in the set where the model is physically valid. We show the constrained exact boundary controllability of the system with the same pressure and Mach number constraints.

    Differentiability properties for boundary control of fluid-structure interactions of linear elasticity with Navier--Stokes equations with mixed-boundary conditions in a channel
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Hintermüller, Michael; Kröner, Axel
    In this paper we consider a fluid-structure interaction problem given by the steady Navier Stokes equations coupled with linear elasticity taken from [Lasiecka, Szulc, and Zochoswki, Nonl. Anal.: Real World Appl., 44, 2018]. An elastic body surrounded by a liquid in a rectangular domain is deformed by the flow which can be controlled by the Dirichlet boundary condition at the inlet. On the walls along the channel homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and on the outflow boundary do-nothing conditions are prescribed. We recall existence results for the nonlinear system from that reference and analyze the control to state mapping generaziling the results of [Wollner and Wick, J. Math. Fluid Mech., 21, 2019] to the setting of the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equation for the fluid and the situation of mixed boundary conditions in a domain with corners.
