AbstractWe introduce a family of pairings between a bounded divergence-measure vector field and a function u of bounded variation, depending on the choice of the pointwise representative of u. We prove that these pairings inherit from the standard one, introduced in [G. Anzellotti, Pairings between measures and bounded functions and compensated compactness, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 135 1983, 293–318], [G.-Q. Chen and H. Frid, Divergence-measure fields and hyperbolic conservation laws, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 147 1999, 2, 89–118], all the main properties and features (e.g. coarea, Leibniz, and Gauss–Green formulas). We also characterize the pairings making the corresponding functionals semicontinuous with respect to the strict convergence in \mathrm{BV}. We remark that the standard pairing in general does not share this property.

AbstractWe consider a φ-rigidity property for divergence-free vector fields in the Euclidean n-space, where {\varphi(t)} is a non-negative convex function vanishing only at {t=0}. We show that this property is always satisfied in dimension {n=2}, while in higher dimension it requires some further restriction on φ. In particular, we exhibit counterexamples to quadratic rigidity (i.e. when {\varphi(t)=ct^{2}}) in dimension {n\geq 4}. The validity of the quadratic rigidity, which we prove in dimension {n=2}, implies the existence of the trace of a divergence-measure vector field ξ on an {\mathcal{H}^{1}}-rectifiable set S, as soon as its weak normal trace {[\xi\cdot\nu_{S}]} is maximal on S. As an application, we deduce that the graph of an extremal solution to the prescribed mean curvature equation in a weakly-regular domain becomes vertical near the boundary in a pointwise sense.
