contents The paper analyzes a mollification algorithm, for the numerical computation of optimal irrigation patterns. This provides a regularization of the standard irrigation cost functional, in a Lagrangian framework. Lower semicontinuity and Gamma-convergence results are proved. The technique is then applied to some numerical optimization problems, related to the optimal shape of tree roots and branches.
