Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a symmetrization technique for the distributional gradient of a function of bounded variation in the anisotropic setting. This generalizes the result obtained in the Euclidean case in [Amato-Gentile-Nitsch-Trombetti, 2024] by separating the absolutely continuous part of the anisotropic gradient from its singular part. Our main result is an L1L^1 comparison between the function and its anisotropic symmetrization. Moreover, as an application, we derive isoperimetric inequalities for some geometric functionals related to the torsional rigidity.
