Variational approximation for detecting point-like target problems
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 17 (2011) no. 4, pp. 909-930.

The aim of this paper is to provide a rigorous variational formulation for the detection of points in 2-d biological images. To this purpose we introduce a new functional whose minimizers give the points we want to detect. Then we define an approximating sequence of functionals for which we prove the Γ-convergence to the initial one.
