A pointwise characterization of functions of bounded variation on metric spaces

Functional Analysis 2013-06-26 v1

Abstract

We give a new characterization of the space of functions of bounded variation in terms of a pointwise inequality connected to the maximal function of a measure. The characterization is new even in Euclidean spaces and it holds also in general metric spaces.
