Partial regularity for $B{V}^{\mathcal{B}}$ minimizers

Abstract

We prove an $\epsilon$-regularity theorem for $B{V}^{\mathcal{B}}$ minimizers of strongly $\mathcal{B}$-quasiconvex functionals with linear growth, where $\mathcal{B}$ is an elliptic operator of the first order. This generalises to the $B{V}^{\mathcal{B}}$ setting the analogous result for $BV$ functions by F. Gmeineder and J. Kristensen [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 232 (2019)]. The results of this work cannot be directly derived from the $\mathcal{B}=\nabla$ case essentially because of Ornstein's "non-inequality". This adaptation requires an abstract local Poincaré inequality and a fine Fubini-type property to avoid the use of trace theorems, which in general fail when $\mathcal{B}$ is elliptic.
