Strict Interior Approximation of Sets of Finite Perimeter and Functions of Bounded Variation
نویسنده
چکیده
It is well known that sets of finite perimeter can be strictly approximated by smooth sets, while, in general, one cannot hope to approximate an open set Ω of finite perimeter in R strictly from within. In this note we show that, nevertheless, the latter type of approximation is possible under the mild hypothesis that the (n−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the topological boundary ∂Ω equals the perimeter of Ω. We also discuss an optimality property of this hypothesis, and we establish a corresponding result on strict approximation of BV-functions from a prescribed Dirichlet class.

BV functions and sets of finite perimeter in sub-Riemannian manifolds
We give a notion of BV function on an oriented manifold where a volume form and a family of lower semicontinuous quadratic forms Gp : TpM → [0,∞] are given. When we consider sub-Riemannian manifolds, our definition coincides with the one given in the more general context of metric measure spaces which are doubling and support a Poincaré inequality. We focus on finite perimeter sets, i.e., sets ...
متن کاملLocality of the Perimeter in Carnot Groups and Chain Rule
In the class of Carnot groups we study fine properties of sets of finite perimeter. Improving a recent result by Ambrosio-Kleiner-Le Donne, we show that the perimeter measure is local, i.e., that given any pair of sets of finite perimeter their perimeter measures coincide on the intersection of their essential boundaries. This solves a question left open in [4]. As a consequence we prove a gene...
متن کاملGauss-green Theorem for Weakly Differentiable Vector Fields, Sets of Finite Perimeter, and Balance Laws
We analyze a class of weakly differentiable vector fields F : R → R with the property that F ∈ L∞ and div F is a Radon measure. These fields are called bounded divergencemeasure fields. The primary focus of our investigation is to introduce a suitable notion of the normal trace of any divergence-measure field F over the boundary of an arbitrary set of finite perimeter, which ensures the validit...
متن کاملFloating drops and functions of bounded variation
A variational problem for three fluids in which gravitational and surface tension forces are in equilibrium is studied using sets of finite perimeter and functions of bounded variation. Existence theorems are proven which imply the existence of an axisymmetric floating drop. This problem has been studied previously as a free boundary problem for axisymmetric capillary surfaces by Elcrat, Neel a...
متن کاملConnected Components of Sets of Finite Perimeter and Applications to Image Processing
This paper contains a systematic analysis of a natural measure theoretic notion of connectedness for sets of finite perimeter in IR, introduced by H. Federer in the more general framework of the theory of currents. We provide a new and simpler proof of the existence and uniqueness of the decomposition into the so-called M -connected components. Moreover, we study carefully the structure of the ...
