Title: Partitioning of domains as a mathematical problem: numerical algorithms and applications

Abstract: This talk is devoted to the optimization problem of continuous multi-partitioning, or multi-labeling, which is based on a convex relaxation of the continuous Potts model. In contrast to previous efforts, which are trying to tackle the optimal labeling problem in a direct manner.

Some algorithms will be supplied to numerical solve these problems with speed efficiency.

In the end, we will also present several recent algorithms for computing global minimizers based on graph cut algorithms and augmented Lagrangian approaches.
