Regular Lagrangian flow for explicit ODE with discontinuous right-hand side
Consider the problem
$$(\star) \quad \begin{cases} \frac{d}{dt} X(t,x) = \begin{cases} - 1 & \text{ if } X(t,x) >0, \\
1 & \text{ if } X(t,x) < 0 \end{cases}, &t \in [0,T],\\
X(0,x) ...

Rademacher theorem
If $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$ is of class $C^1$ and $\operatorname{rank} Df(x_o)=k$, then clearly $\operatorname{rank} Df\geq k$ in a neighborhood of $x_o$. It is not particularly difficult to ...
