AbstractIn the setting of a metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincaré inequality, we define and study a class of{\mathrm{BV}}functions with zero boundary values. In particular, we show that the class is the closure of compactly supported{\mathrm{BV}}functions in the{\mathrm{BV}}norm. Utilizing this theory, we then study the variational 1-capacity and its Lipschitz and{\mathrm{BV}}analogs. We show that each of these is an outer capacity, and that the different capacities are equal for certain sets.

Abstract In this paper, we study functions of bounded variation on a complete and connected metric space with finite one-dimensional Hausdorff measure. The definition of BV functions on a compact interval based on pointwise variation is extended to this general setting. We show this definition of BV functions is equivalent to the BV functions introduced by Miranda [18]. Furthermore, we study the necessity of conditions on the underlying space in Federer’s characterization of sets of finite perimeter on metric measure spaces. In particular, our examples show that the doubling and Poincaré inequality conditions are essential in showing that a set has finite perimeter if the codimension one Hausdorff measure of the measure-theoretic boundary is finite.
