  • Abstract

In this paper, we propose a generalized penalization technique and a convex constraint minimization approach for the $p$-harmonic flow problem following the ideas in [Kang & March, IEEE T. Image Process., 16 (2007), 2251-2261]. We use fast algorithms to solve the subproblems, such as the dual projection methods, primal-dual methods and augmented Lagrangian methods. With a special penalization term, some special algorithms  are presented. Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods. We successfully show that our algorithms are effective and efficient due to two reasons: the solver for subproblem is fast in essence and there is no need to solve the subproblem accurately (even 2 inner iterations of the subproblem are enough). It is also observed that  better PSNR values are produced using the new algorithms.
