A generalization to functions of two variables of the Variation of a function of one variable, proposed by Tonelli in [To].
Definition Given a measurable function $f: \mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R$ we define the Tonelli variation $f$ as \[ V_T (f) := \int_{-\infty}^\infty TV (f (\cdot, y))\, dy + \int_{-\infty}^\infty TV (f (x, \cdot))\, dx\, \] where $TV (g)$ denotes the classical total variation of a function of one real variable.
Cesari in [Ce] proposed the following modification of the Tonelli's plane variation, which is sometimes called Tonelli-Cesari variation
Definition Given a measurable function $f: \mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R$ we define the Tonelli-Cesari variation $f$ as \[ V_{TC} (f) := \inf \left\{ V_T (g) : g = f \;\mbox{$\lambda$-a.e.}\right\}\, . \] It turns out that the function $f$ has bounded Tonelli-Cesari variation if and only if it has bounded variation in the modern sense (see Variation of a function and Function of bounded variation). Among the many generalizations of the variation of a function of one variable given in the first half of the twentieth century, the Tonelli-Cesari is therefore the only one equivalent to the modern point of view. For a thorough discussion of the historical aspects of the theory of functions of bounded variation we refer to Section 3.12 of [AFP].
