The trace space of anisotropic least gradient functions depends on the anisotropy

Abstract

We study the set of possible traces of anisotropic least gradient functions. We show that even on the unit disk it changes with the anisotropic norm: for two sufficiently regular strictly convex norms the trace spaces coincide if and only if the norms coincide. The example of a function in exactly one of the trace spaces is given by a characteristic function of a suitably chosen Cantor set.
