Abstract:

\def{\loc}{\mathrm{loc}}\def{\R}{\mathbf R} We consider local minimizers for a class of $1$-homogeneous integral functionals defined on $BV_\loc(\Omega)$, with $\Omega\subset \R^2$. Under general assumptions on the functional, we prove that the boundary of the subgraph of such minimizers is (locally) a lipschitz graph in a suitable direction. The proof of this statement relies on a regularity result holding for boundaries in $\R^2$ which minimize an anisotropic perimeter. This result is applied to the boundary of sublevel sets of a minimizer $u\in BV_\loc(\Omega)$.

We also provide an example which shows that such regularity result is optimal.
