Abstract:

In this paper we deal with the approximation of $SBV$ functions in the strong $BV$ topology. In particular, we provide three approximation results. The first one, Theorem A, concerns general $SBV$ functions; the second one, Theorem B, concerns $SBV$ functions with absolutely continuous part of the gradient in $L^p$, $p>1$; and the third one, Theorem C, concerns $SBV^p$ functions, that is, those $SBV$ functions for which not only the absolutely continuous part of the gradient is in $L^p$, but also the jump set has finite $\mathcal H^{N-1}$- measure. The last result generalizes the previously known approximation theorems for $SBV^p$ functions, see Braides-Chiadò Piat,Cortesani-Toader. As we discuss, the first and the third result are sharp. We conclude with a simple application of our results.
