Abstract

We investigate the Dirichlet problem for multidimensional variational integrals with linear growth which is formulated in a generalized way in the space of functions of bounded variation. We prove uniqueness of minimizers up to additive constants and deduce additional assertions about these constants and the possible (non-)attainment of the boundary values. Moreover, we provide several related examples. In the case of the model integral our results extend classical results from the scalar case N = 1—where the problem coincides with the non-parametric least area problem—to the general vectorial setting N ∈ ℕ.
