This paper is devoted to the mathematical and numerical study of a new proposed model based on a fractional diffusion equation coupled with a nonlinear regularization of the Total Variation operator. This model is primarily intended to introduce a weak norm in the fidelity term, where this norm is considered more appropriate for capturing very oscillatory characteristics interpreted as a texture. Furthermore, our proposed model profits from the benefits of a variable exponent used to distinguish the features of the image. By using Faedo-Galerkin method, we prove the well-posedness (existence and uniqueness) of the weak solution for the proposed model. Based on the alternating direction implicit method of Peaceman-Rachford and the approximations of the Gr$\ddot{u}$nwald-Letnikov operators, we develop the numerical discretization of our fractional diffusion equation. Experimental results claim that our model provides high-quality results in cartoon-texture-edges decomposition and image denoising. In particular, our model can successfully reduce the staircase phenomenon during the image denoising. Furthermore, small details, texture and fine structures still maintained in the restored image. Finally, we compare our numerical results with the existing models in the literature.

Comparison between the regularization terms of the function $f(x) = 1/|x|$ associated to the TV operator, which is weak in the numerical simulations, (the lines associated to this function are illustrated by the red curves in both figures: case $\epsilon = 0$ and case $\gamma = 0$). The first figure illustrates the curves obtained by the function $f(x) = 1/\sqrt{|x|^{2}+\epsilon}$ and by different values of $\epsilon$. The second figure illustrates the curves obtained by $f(x) = ( \mathop{{\rm{log}}}(1+|x|))^{\gamma}/|x|$ and by different values of $\gamma$. It is clear that the previously proposed converges rapidly to the regularization term associated with the TV operator from $\gamma = 10^{-1}$. On the other hand, the other function converges from $\epsilon = 10^{-4}$
