[For the entire collection see Zbl 0732.00012.] This is a report on the joint work of the author with P. Sternberg and W. P. Ziemer concerning existence, uniqueness and regularity for functions of least gradient in dimension \(n\geq 2\). First the author discusses the constrained problem of finding functions \(u\) of least gradient in \(\Omega\) satisfying \(u=\phi\) on \(\partial \Omega\) and \(| \nabla u| \leq 1\) a.e. in \(\Omega\). In the unconstrained case one states that if \(\partial \Omega\) is \(C^ 2\) and has strictly positive mean curvature in a dense subset of \(\partial \Omega\), then, for any continuous function \(\phi\) defined on \(\partial \Omega\), there is a unique continuous function of least gradient in \(\Omega\) having boundary values \(\phi\). If \(\phi\in C^{0,\alpha}(\partial \Omega)\) for some \(\alpha\), \(0 < \alpha\leq 1\), then \(u\in C^{0,\alpha/2}(\overline\Omega)\). In both situations the solutions are constructed via their level sets.
