Abstract
Abstract We study an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary value problem for functions of least gradient on bounded domains in metric spaces that are equipped with a doubling measure and support a Poincaré inequality. We show that solutions exist under certain regularity assumptions on the domain, but are generally nonunique. We also show that solutions can be taken to be differences of two characteristic functions, and that they are regular up to the boundary when the boundary is of positive mean curvature. By regular up to the boundary we mean that if the boundary data is 1 in a neighborhood of a point on the boundary of the domain, then the solution is −1 in the intersection of the domain with a possibly smaller neighborhood of that point. Finally, we consider the stability of solutions with respect to boundary data.

Geometric inequalities in metric spaces,
Geometric measure theory and variational problems in metric spaces,
Analytic and geometric problems in metric measure spaces, probability spaces, and manifolds with density,
Analytic and geometric problems in sub-riemannian manifolds, Carnot groups, and pseudo-hermitian manifolds.
Geometric control theory,
Curvature in metric and length spaces,
Geometric group theory,
Harmonic Analysis. Potential theory,
Mass transportation problems,
Quasiconformal and quasiregular mappings. Quasiconformal geometry,
PDEs associated to analytic and geometric problems in metric spaces.
