The cartoon component $u$ is modeled by a function of bounded variation, while $v$, usually represented by a square integrable function, is now being modeled by a more refined and weaker texture norm, as a distribution. Generalizing the idea of {\it Y. Meyer} [Oscillating patterns in image processing and nonlinear evolution equations. University Lecture Series. 22. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2001; Zbl 0987.35003)], where $v\in F=\text{div}(BMO)=B\dot MO^{-1}$, we model here the texture component by the action of the Riesz potentials on $v$ that belongs to $BMO$ or to $L^p$. In an earlier work [{\it T. M. Le} and {\it L. A. Vese}, Multiscale Model. Simul. 4, No. 2, 390--423 (2005; Zbl 1093.94006)], the authors proposed energy minimization models to approximate $(BV,F)$ decompositions explicitly expressing the texture as divergence of vector fields in $BMO$. In this paper, we consider an equivalent more isotropic norm of the space $F$ in terms of the Riesz potentials, and study models where the Riesz potentials of oscillatory components belong to $BMO$ or to $L^p$, $1\le p<\infty$ (thus we consider oscillatory components in $B\dot MO^\alpha$ or in $\dot W^{\alpha,p}$, with $\alpha<0)$. Theoretical, experimental results and comparisons to validate the proposed methods are presented.}, identifier = {05995322}, }
