contents It is well-known that convex variational problems with linear growth and Dirichlet boundary conditions might not have minimizers if the boundary condition is not suitably relaxed. We show that for a wide range of integrands, including the least gradient problem and the non-parametric Plateau problem, and under suitable mean-convexity conditions of the boundary, minimizers of the relaxed problem attain the boundary data in the trace sense if it lies in $BV$ or $W^{α,p}$ with $αp\geq 2$ without any kind of continuity assumption. Unlike previous works, our methods are also able to treat systems under a certain quasi-isotropy assumption on the integrand. We further show that without this quasi-isotropy assumption, smooth counterexamples on uniformly convex domains exist. Further applications to the uniqueness of minimizers and to open problems about the ROF functional with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and to the trace space of functions of least gradient are given.

It is well-known that convex variational problems with linear growth and Dirichlet boundary conditions might not have minimizers if the boundary condition is not suitably relaxed. We show that for a wide range of integrands, including the least gradient problem and the non-parametric Plateau problem, and under suitable mean-convexity conditions of the boundary, minimizers of the relaxed problem attain the boundary data in the trace sense if it lies in $BV$ or $W^{α,p}$ with $αp\geq 2$ without any kind of continuity assumption. Unlike previous works, our methods are also able to treat systems under a certain quasi-isotropy assumption on the integrand. We further show that without this quasi-isotropy assumption, smooth counterexamples on uniformly convex domains exist. Further applications to the uniqueness of minimizers and to open problems about the ROF functional with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and to the trace space of functions of least gradient are given.
