\(BV\) functions on open domains: the Wiener case and a Fomin differentiable case (Q2308265)

Functions of bounded variation (BV functions) have had an important role in several classical problems of the calculus of variations, geometric measure theory and mathematical physics. Several authors applied BV functions to study Fourier series in several variables (see, [\textit{L. Ambrosio} et al., Functions of bounded variation and free discontinuity problems. Oxford: Clarendon Press (2000; Zbl 0957.49001)], [\textit{G. Da Prato} and \textit{A. Lunardi}, J. Funct. Anal. 259, No. 10, 2642--2672 (2010; Zbl 1204.35172); J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 99, No. 6, 741--765 (2013; Zbl 1293.35359)], [\textit{E. De Giorgi}, Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei, VIII. Ser., Rend., Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Nat. 14, 390--393 (1953; Zbl 0051.29403); Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 36, 191--213 (1954; Zbl 0055.28504)], [\textit{M. Hino}, J. Funct. Anal. 258, No. 5, 1656--1681 (2010; Zbl 1196.46029)], [\textit{M. Fukushima} and \textit{M. Hino}, J. Funct. Anal. 183, No. 1, 245--268 (2001; Zbl 0993.60049)]). The principal objective in this paper is to provide three different characterizations of the space BV of the functions of bounded variation with respect to a centred non-degenerate Gaussian measure on open domains in Wiener spaces. Also, the authors apply techniques to Fomin differentiable probability measures on a Hilbert space.
