As a tool, we develop some stability properties of sequences of least gradient functions. We also apply these tools to prove a maximum principle for functions of least gradient that arise as solutions to a Dirichlet problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-08T19:37:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "26B30", "31E99", "31C45", "26B15" ], "keywords": [ "continuity", "metric measure spaces", "maximum principle", "gradient functions", "stability properties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1410.2228H" } } }
