Most of these articles deal with the derivation of cost functionals and their minimization.
The most commonly used approximations for the minimization problem (2.2) can be filed schematically into two main classes.
It is noteworthy that the interpretation we propose here is exactly that minimization of modal contours occurs to exploit a geometric regularity.
