We give an existence proof for variational solutions u associated to the total variation flow. Here, the functions being considered are defined on a metric measure space $$({\mathcal {X}}, d, \mu )$$ ( X , d , μ ) satisfying a doubling condition and supporting a Poincaré inequality. For such parabolic minimizers that coincide with a time-independent Cauchy–Dirichlet datum $$u_0$$ u 0 on the parabolic boundary of a space-time-cylinder $$\Omega \times (0, T)$$ Ω × ( 0 , T ) with $$\Omega \subset {\mathcal {X}}$$ Ω ⊂ X an open set and $$T > 0$$ T > 0 , we prove existence in the weak parabolic function space $$L^1_w(0, T; \mathrm {BV}(\Omega ))$$ L w 1 ( 0 , T ; BV ( Ω ) ) . In this paper, we generalize results from a previous work by Bögelein, Duzaar and Marcellini by introducing a more abstract notion for $$\mathrm {BV}$$ BV -valued parabolic function spaces. We argue completely on a variational level.

We prove boundedness, Hölder continuity, Harnack inequality results for local quasiminima to elliptic double phase problems of p-Laplace type in the general context of metric measure spaces. The proofs follow a variational approach and they are based on the De Giorgi method, a careful phase analysis and estimates in the intrinsic geometries.

Using purely variational methods, we prove local and global higher integrability results for upper gradients of quasiminimizers of a (p, q)-Dirichlet integral with fixed boundary data, assuming it belongs to a slightly better Newtonian space. We also obtain a stability property with respect to the varying exponents p and q. The setting is a doubling metric measure space supporting a Poincaré inequality.

We study local and global higher integrability properties for quasiminimizers of a class of double phase integrals characterized by nonstandard growth conditions. We work purely on a variational level in the setting of a metric measure space with a doubling measure and a Poincaré inequality. The main novelty is an intrinsic approach to double phase Sobolev-Poincaré inequalities.
