Such a functional is defined through relaxation, and it defines 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 related to the functional, boundary values can be presented as a penalty term.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-22T16:15:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49Q20", "30L99", "26B30" ], "keywords": [ "metric measure spaces", "linear growth", "functional", "relaxation", "variational minimization problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.5717H" } } }
