We prove a compactness result for bounded sequences $(u_j)_j$ of functions with bounded variation in metric spaces $(X,d_j)$ where the space $X$ is fixed but the metric may vary with $j$. We also provide an application to Carnot-Caratheodory spaces.
We show that given a homeomorphism $f:GrightarrowOmega$ where $G$ is a open subset of $mathbb{R}^2$ and $Omega$ is a open subset of a $2$-Ahlfors regular metric measure space supporting a weak $(1,1)$-Poincare inequality, it holds $fin BV_{operatorname{loc}}(G,Omega)$ if and only $f^{-1}in BV_{operatorname{loc}}(Omega,G)$. Further if $f$ satisfies the Luzin N and N$^{-1}$ conditions then $fin W^{1,1}_{operatorname{loc}}(G,Omega)$ if and only if $f^{-1}in W^{1,1}_{operatorname{loc}}(Omega,G)$.
We describe the behavior of p-harmonic Greens functions near a singularity in metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincare inequality.
We study two notions of Dirichlet problem associated with BV energy minimizers (also called functions of least gradient) in bounded domains in metric measure spaces whose measure is doubling and supports a $(1,1)$-Poincare inequality. Since one of the two notions is not amenable to the direct method of the calculus of variations, we construct, based on an approach of [23, 29], solutions by considering the Dirichlet problem for $p$-harmonic functions, $p>1$, and letting $pto 1$. Tools developed and used in this paper include the inner perimeter measure of a domain.
In this paper we study the $(BV,L^p)$-decomposition, $p=1,2$, of functions in metric random walk spaces, a general workspace that includes weighted graphs and nonlocal models used in image processing. We obtain the Euler-Lagrange equations of the corresponding variational problems and their gradient flows. In the case $p=1$ we also study the associated geometric problem and the thresholding parameters.
