Is there a good reference for facts and theorems about BV real valued functions? I’m looking for something with much more than say Stein and Shakarchi 3, or Evans and Gariepy. Thanks!

2$\begingroup$ What kind of result are you interested in? in 1D the theory of BV functions essentially reduces to the theory of monotone functions, which is pretty restrictive $\endgroup$– Piero D'AnconaCommented Jan 14, 2019 at 8:56

$\begingroup$ Just everything there might be to know about them. Does BV pretty much imply monotone? $\endgroup$– James BaxterCommented Jan 14, 2019 at 9:42

$\begingroup$ @JamesBaxter: BV means "difference of two increasing". (There's a lovely old book in Polish on that subject, by Łojasiewicz. I do not thing it has been translated into English, though). $\endgroup$– Mateusz KwaśnickiCommented Jan 14, 2019 at 12:27

$\begingroup$ The following book is worth looking at if you're interested in classical results (i.e. early to mid 20th century): Rangachary Kannan and Carole King Krueger, Advanced Analysis on the Real Line, Universitext series, Springer-Verlag, 1996, x + 259 pages. $\endgroup$– Dave L RenfroCommented Jan 15, 2019 at 20:24

The following book has a nice and long chapter of BV functions in one variable:
G. Leoni, A First Course in Sobolev Spaces Graduate Studies in Mathematics Volume: 181.
Also an excellent book covering a great deal of the material is:
I. P. Natanson, Theory of functions of a real variable. Translated by Leo F. Boron with the collaboration of Edwin Hewitt. Frederick Ungar Publishing Co., New York, 1955.
The book Gordon, Russell A., The integrals of Lebesgue, Denjoy, Perron, and Henstock, Graduate Studies in Mathematics. 4. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). xi, 395 p. (1994). ZBL0807.26004. has a lot of material on BV functions in one variable and various generalizations of BV.
