“…[13,42,47], and in the metric setting in [28]. In this paper we first prove standard De Giorgi-type and weak Harnack inequalities for 1subminimizers and certain solutions of obstacle problems, following especially [2,19,25], and then use these to show the aforementioned semicontinuity property of 1-superminimizers as well as a similar property for solutions of obstacle problems at points where the obstacle is continuous, see Theorem 3.18.…”

We study functions of least gradient as well as related superminimizers and solutions of obstacle problems in metric spaces that are equipped with a doubling measure and support a Poincaré inequality. We show a standard weak Harnack inequality and use it to prove semicontinuity properties of such functions. We also study some properties of the fine topology in the case p = 1. Then we combine these theories to prove a weak Cartan property of superminimizers in the case p = 1, as well as a strong version at points of nonzero capacity. Finally we employ the weak Cartan property to show that any topology that makes the upper representative u ∨ of every 1-superminimizer u upper semicontinuous in open sets is stronger (in some cases, strictly) than the 1-fine topology. * 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 30L99, 31E05, 26B30.

“…For f (t) = t, this gives the de nition of functions of bounded variation, or BV functions, on metric measure spaces, see [1], [3] and [24]. For f (t) = √ + t , we get the generalized surface area functional, which has been considered previously in [17] and [18]. Our rst result shows that if F(u, Ω) < ∞, then F(u, ·) is a Borel regular outer measure on Ω.…”

Abstract:This article studies an integral representation of functionals of linear growth on metric measure spaces with a doubling measure and a Poincaré inequality. Such a functional is de ned via relaxation, and it de nes a Radon measure on the space. For the singular part of the functional, we get the expected integral representation with respect to the variation measure. A new feature is that in the representation for the absolutely continuous part, a constant appears already in the weighted Euclidean case. As an application we show that in a variational minimization problem involving the functional, boundary values can be presented as a penalty term.

“…Let us also note that the proofs for fine continuity given in [8] and [23] involve the theory of p-harmonic functions, for p > 1. While some results on 1-harmonic functions, known as functions of least gradient, have been derived in [14,15,19], we do not use this theory, relying on a geometric tool known as the boxing inequality instead.…”
