Convex integration and infinitely many weak solutions to the Perona-Malik equation in all dimensions

We prove that for all smooth nonconstant initial data the initial-Neumann boundary value problem for the Perona-Malik equation in image processing possesses infinitely many Lipschitz weak solutions on smooth bounded convex domains in all dimensions. Such existence results have not been known except for the one-dimensional problems. Our approach is motivated by reformulating the Perona-Malik equation as a nonhomogeneous partial differential inclusion with linear constraint and uncontrollable components of gradient. We establish a general existence result by a suitable Baire's category method under a pivotal density hypothesis. We finally fulfill this density hypothesis by convex integration based on certain approximations from an explicit formula of lamination convex hull of some matrix set involved.
