Abstract
We establish the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for the the one-dimensional version of the well-known and widely used Perona-Malik anisotropic diffusion equation model in image processing. We establish the existence result under the homogeneous Neumann condition with smooth non-constant initial values. Our method is to convert the problem into a partial differential inclusion problem.
