Abstract:

In this paper we show that every $L^1$-integrable function on $\partial\Omega$ can be obtained as the trace of a function of bounded variation in $\Omega$ whenever $\Omega$ is a domain with regular boundary $\partial\Omega$ in a doubling metric measure space. In particular, the trace class of $BV(\Omega)$ is $L^1(\partial\Omega)$ provided that $\Omega$ supports a $1$-Poincar\'e inequality. We also construct a bounded linear extension from a Besov class of functions on $\partial\Omega$ to $BV(\Omega)$.
