Abstract
In this article we study minimizers of functionals of linear growth in metric measure spaces. We introduce the generalized problem in this setting, and prove existence and local boundedness of the minimizers. We give counterexamples to show that in general, minimizers are not continuous and can have jump discontinuities inside the domain.
