Not all traces on the circle come from functions of least gradient in the disk

Abstract

We provide an example of an L1L^1 function on the circle, which cannot be the trace of a function of bounded variation of least gradient in the disk. This shows that in theorems on existence and uniqueness of solutions to the least gradient problem, proven by Sternberg, Williams and Ziemer and published in 1992-1993, the hypothesis that the boundary data is continuous cannot be removed.
