A <BV space> function is special when its <derivative> has no <Cantor part of a bounded-variation derivative>: $Du=\nabla u\,dx+[u]\nu_u\mathcal H^{n-1}\!\lfloor J_u$. The remaining singular part is supported on the <jump set of a bounded-variation function>. This space accommodates sharp interfaces and is the natural setting for the <Mumford–Shah functional>.
