BV supersolutions to equations of 1-Laplace and minimal surface type

We propose notions of BV supersolutions to (the Dirichlet problem for) the 1-Laplace equation, the minimal surface equation, and equations of similar type. We then establish some related compactness and consistency results.Our main technical tool is a generalized product of L∞ divergence-measure fields and gradient measures of BV functions. This product crucially depends on the choice of a representative of the BV function, and the proofs of its basic properties involve results on one-sided approximation and fine (semi)continuity in the BV context.
