Heuristic and graphic representation of BV functions and their singularities

This question is about some heuristics and graphs of BV functions. In 1-dimensional setting, two key examples of $BV$ functions $u: \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ are the Heaviside function, whose ...

Box counting dimension of the graph of a BV function

Let $u: \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^M$ be a $BV$ function. Is the box counting dimension of the graph of $u$ equal to $N$? How can we prove it? The analogous question for the ...

Convergence of the difference quotient of a BV function

Consider a BV function $u \in BV(\mathbb{R}^N; \mathbb{R}^N)$. What can be said about the difference quotient $$ \frac{u(x+\epsilon y)-u(x)}{\epsilon} $$ regarding its convergence as $\epsilon \to 0$...

Jacobian and Jacobian matrix of solutions of ODE with Sobolev vector field

Let $\Phi$ be the Lagrangian flow (defined as in page 6 of this paper) of the ODE $$\begin{cases} \frac{d}{dt}\Phi(x,t) = f(\Phi(x,t),t) \quad t >0 \\ \Phi(x,0) = x \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^N \end{...

Relationship between $p$-capacity and Riesz $s$-capacity of a set

What is the relationship between the definitions of $s$-capacity (page 13 here) and $p$-capacity (here) of a set? Are they equivalent? If not, what inequalities hold? What is the difference (in terms ...

Weak estimate for difference quotient of BV function

In an answer to the question Weak Lebesgue spaces and an estimate for BV functions it was remarked that if $u\in BV(\mathbb R^N)$ then there exists a Lebesgue negligible set $F \subset \mathbb R^N$ ...

Consistency of the definition of total variation for functions of one or several variables

Where can I find a proof that the definition of total variation for functions of several variables is consistent with the definition of total variation for functions of one variable?

Level sets of a BV function and its derivative

Given $u \in BV(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^M)$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, what is the relationship between its level sets and its distributional derivative $Db$? More specifically, does Alberti ...

Coarea-like formula for BV functions (not their derivative)

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N$ and $f \in BV(\Omega)$. The coarea formula states that $$Df = \int_{\mathbb R} D \chi_{\{f >h\}} \, dh.$$ Unfortunately, the formula $$f = \int_{\mathbb R} \...
