contents In this paper, we study the existence of limits at infinity along almost every infinite curve for the upper and lower approximate limits of bounded variation functions on complete unbounded metric measure spaces. We prove that if the measure is doubling and supports a $1$-Poincaré inequality, then for every bounded variation function $f$ and for $1$-a.e. infinite curve $γ$, for both the upper approximate limit $f^\vee$ and the lower approximate limit $f^\wedge$ we have that \[ \lim_{t\to+\infty}f^\vee(γ(t)) {\rm \ \ and\ \ }\lim_{t\to+\infty}f^\wedge(γ(t)) \] exist and are equal to the same finite value. We give examples showing that the conditions of doubling and a $1$-Poincaré inequality are also necessary for the existence of limits. Furthermore, we establish a characterization for strictly positive $1$-modulus of the family of all infinite curves in terms of bounded variation functions. These generalize results for Sobolev functions given in \cite{KN23}.

In this paper, we study the existence of limits at infinity along almost every infinite curve for the upper and lower approximate limits of bounded variation functions on complete unbounded metric measure spaces. We prove that if the measure is doubling and supports a $1$-Poincaré inequality, then for every bounded variation function $f$ and for $1$-a.e. infinite curve $γ$, for both the upper approximate limit $f^\vee$ and the lower approximate limit $f^\wedge$ we have that \[ \lim_{t\to+\infty}f^\vee(γ(t)) {\rm \ \ and\ \ }\lim_{t\to+\infty}f^\wedge(γ(t)) \] exist and are equal to the same finite value. We give examples showing that the conditions of doubling and a $1$-Poincaré inequality are also necessary for the existence of limits. Furthermore, we establish a characterization for strictly positive $1$-modulus of the family of all infinite curves in terms of bounded variation functions. These generalize results for Sobolev functions given in \cite{KN23}.
