Abstract (EN)
We investigate numerical methods to approximate the projection-operator from H1 0 into the set of convex functions. We introduce a new formulation of the problem, based on gradient fi elds. It leads in a natural way to an in finite-dimensional saddle-point problem, which can be shown to be ill-posed in general. Existence and uniqueness of a saddle point is obtained for a Lagrangian de ned in suitable spaces. This well-posed formulation does not lead to an implementable algorithm. Yet, numerical experiments based on a discretization of the fi rst formulation exhibit a good behaviour.
