Partial regularity for $BV^\mathcal{B}$ minimizers (2310.20002v1)

Abstract: We prove an $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem for $BV^\mathcal{B}$ minimizers of strongly $\mathcal{B}$-quasiconvex functionals with linear growth, where $\mathcal{B}$ is an elliptic operator of the first order. This generalises to the $BV^\mathcal{B}$ setting the analogous result for $BV$ functions by F. Gmeineder and J. Kristensen [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 232 (2019)]. The results of this work cannot be directly derived from the $\mathcal{B} =\nabla$ case essentially because of Ornstein's "non-inequality". This adaptation requires an abstract local Poincar\'e inequality and a fine Fubini-type property to avoid the use of trace theorems, which in general fail when $\mathcal{B}$ is elliptic.
