Abstract

Given a Borel function ψ defined on a bounded open set Ω with Lipschitz boundary and $\varphi\in L^1(\partial\Omega,{\mathcal H}^{n-1})$ , we prove an explicit representation formula for the L 1 lower semicontinuous envelope of Mumford-Shah type functionals with the obstacle constraint $u^+\ge\psi$ ${\mathcal H}^{n-1}$ a.e. on Ω and the Dirichlet boundary condition $u=\varphi$ on $\partial\Omega$ .
