EXISTENCE OF MINIMISERS FOR A CLASS OF FREE DISCONTINUITY PROBLEMS IN THE HEISENBERG GROUP Hn 1

Abstract

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to prove existence of minimisers of
the functional
$$
J(K,u):=\int_{\Omega\setminus K}f(L_u){\rm d}x+\alpha
\int_{\Omega\setminus K}|u-g|^q {\rm d}x+\beta \sdqe(K\cap\Omega),
$$
where $\Omega$ is an open set of the Heisenberg group
$\hn$, $K$ runs over all closed sets of $\hn$, $u$ varies in
$C_H^1(\Omega\setminus K)$, $\alpha$, $\beta >0,q\ge 1,g\in
L^q(\Omega)\cap L^\infty(\Omega)$ and $f:R^{2n}
\rightarrow R$ is a
convex function satisfying some
structure conditions (H$_1$)(H$_2)$(H$_3)$ (see below).

Key words: SBVH function, Heisenberg group, minimiser;energy;deviation, free dis-
continuity problem
