A density result on a BV-type space on Carnot groups

Abstract

In the setting of Carnot groups (connected, simply connected and stratified Lie groups), we prove a density result for a BV-type space previously introduced in [3]. In addition, we relate the dual of this BV-type space with the dual of the well known space of functions of intrinsic bounded variation. These results extend to the setting of Carnot groups some properties studied by Phuc e Torres in [22] and [23] in the Euclidean setting.
