Is the $W^{1, \infty}$ limit of differentiable functions also differentiable?

Let $f_n$ be a sequence of differentiable functions on $[0, 1]$ with $f_n \to f$ uniformly for some (necessarily) continuous $f$. $f'_n - g \to 0$ in $L^{\infty}$ for some measurable $g$. Is it true ...

Sobolev functions on $\mathbb{R}^N$ cannot be discontinuous on a $(N-1)$-dimensional submanifold

How can one prove (or where can I find a proof) that if $u \in W^{1,p}(\Omega)$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, then $u$ cannot have a $(N-1)$-manifold of discontinuity points?

Measure of the boundary of an BV-extension domain: do we have $|\nabla Eu|(\partial \Omega)=0?$

Let $\Omega\subset \Bbb R^d$ be open. The space $BV(\Omega)$ consists in functions $u\in L^1(\Omega)$ with bounded variation, i.e. $|u|_{BV(\Omega) }<\infty$ where \begin{align}\label{eq:bounded-...

Does weak continuity of Jacobians hold for non nondegenerate maps?

$\newcommand{\M}{\mathcal{M}}$ $\newcommand{\N}{\mathcal{N}}$ Let $\M,\N$ be two-dimensional smooth, compact, connected, oriented Riemannian manifolds. (with or without boundaries). Let $f_n \...
