Cheeger problems ================ .. math:: \renewcommand{\div}{\operatorname{div}} \newcommand{\bsig}{\boldsymbol{\sigma}} Dual problem --------------- The Cheeger problem dual formulation reads as: .. math:: \begin{equation} \begin{array}{rl} \displaystyle{\sup_{\lambda\in \mathbb{R}, \bsig\in W}} & \displaystyle{\lambda} \\ \text{s.t.} & \lambda f = \div\bsig \quad \text{in }\Omega \\ & \|\bsig\|_2 \leq 1 \end{array} \label{Cheeger-dual} \end{equation} A natural discretization strategy for such a problem is to use :math:`H(\div)`-conforming elements such as the Raviart-Thomas element :math:`RT_1`. Two minimization variables are therefore defined: :math:`\lambda` belonging to a scalar :code:`Real` function space and :math:`\bsig \in RT_1`. Since for :math:`\bsig \in RT_1`, :math:`\div \bsig \in \mathbb{P}^0`, we write the constraint equation using :math:`\mathbb{P}^0` Lagrange multipliers: Implementation -------------- .. literalinclude:: ../../../demos/Cheeger_sets/Cheeger_dual.py :language: python .. image:: ../../../paper/convex_optimization/results/Cheeger_RT.png :width: 400 :align: center
