Here, the functions being considered are defined on a metric measure space $(\\mathcal{X}, d, \\mu)$ satisfying a doubling condition and supporting a Poincar\\'e inequality. For such parabolic minimizers that coincide with a time-independent Cauchy-Dirichlet datum $u_0$ on the parabolic boundary of a space-time-cylinder $\\Omega \\times (0, T)$ with $\\Omega \\subset \\mathcal{X}$ an open set and $T > 0$, we prove existence in the weak parabolic function space $L^1_w(0, T; \\mathrm{BV}(\\Omega))$. In this paper, we generalize results from a previous work by B\\\"ogelein, Duzaar and Marcellini by introducing a more abstract notion for $\\mathrm{BV}$-valued parabolic function spaces. We argue completely on a variational level.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-20T12:49:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49J27", "49J40", "49J45", "30L99", "35A15" ], "keywords": [ "total variation flow", "metric measure space", "parabolic minimizers", "weak parabolic function space", "time-independent cauchy-dirichlet datum" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
