Title: Solutions of fourth-order partial differential equations in a noise removal model Authors: Qiang Liu (Jilin Univ., Changchun, China) Zhengan Yao (Sun Yat-Sen Univ., Guangzhou, China) Yuanyuan Ke (Jilin Univ., Changchun, China) Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a fourth-order partial differential equation stemmed from image processing for noise removal. We also present some numerical tests for high order filters. Submitted April 10, 2007. Published September 14, 2007. Math Subject Classifications: 35K65, 35M10.
