The numerical minimization of the functional , is addressed. The function is continuous, has linear growth, and is convex and positively homogeneous of degree one in the second variable. We prove that can be equivalently minimized on the convex set and then regularized with a sequence , of stricdy convex functionals defined on . Then both and , can be discretized by continuous linear finite elements. The convexity property of the functionals on is useful in the numerical...
