Abstract: We consider a class of convex integral functionals composed of a term of linear growth in the gradient of the argument, and a fidelity term involving L2 distance from a datum. Such functionals are known to attain their infima in the BV space. Under the assumption that the domain of integration is convex, we prove that if the datum is in W1,1, then the functional has a minimizer in W1,1. In fact, the minimizer inherits W1,p regularity from the datum for any pin[1,+infty]. We also obtain a quantitative bound on the singular part of the gradient of the minimizer in the case that the datum is in BV. We infer analogous results for the gradient flow of the underlying functional of linear growth. We admit any convex integrand of linear growth.
