I derived the following differential equation from a problem in signal analysis.



$$
0 = f - u - frac12lambdanabla^Tcdotleft(e^-lVert nabla u rVert/lambda fracnabla ulVert nabla urVertright)
$$



here $u = u(x,y)$, $f$ is infinitely times differentiable, the domain is a rectangle $(x,y) in [0,X]times[0,Y]$.



The question is... if $nabla u$ has very large magnitude compared to $lambda > 0$ then the solution is roughly $u = f$, however I do struggle to understand what happens when $nabla u$ is very small. Is there something I can say even roughly? It seems to me it would resemble a diffusion equation, however there's the gradient normalized (so it's a unitary vector field) so I can't really say much about it.



Any help would be appreciated.

  • Where did you get this equation? It looks interesting, and I'm curious. Thanks. Cheers!

  • @Robert Lewis, dsp.stackexchange.com/q/50943/17762. I want to find u using gradient descent. But I need to guess at least a bit how the solution ia going to behave asymptotically.
