Abstract
We study existence of minimizers of the least gradient probleminfvâBVgâ¡â«Î©Ï(x,Dv), where BVg={vâBV(Ω):â«âΩgv=1}, Ï(x,p):ΩÃRnâR is a convex, continuous, and homogeneous function of degree 1 with respect to the p variable, and g satisfies the compatibility condition â«âΩgdS=0. We prove that for every 0â¢gâLâ(âΩ) there are infinitely many minimizers in BV(Ω). Moreover there exists a divergence free vector field Tâ(Lâ(Ω))n that determines the structure of level sets of all minimizers, i.e. T determines Du|Du|, |Du|-a.e. in Ω, for every minimizer u. We also prove some existence results for general 1-Laplacian type equations with Neumann boundary condition. A numerical algorithm is presented that simultaneously finds T and a minimizer of the above least gradient problem. Applications of the results in conductivity imaging are discussed.
