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 ...

Anisotropic perimeter and regularity of anisotropic minimal surfaces

1. Introduction. By-now classical results assert that minimal surfaces (in $\mathbb R^n$) are generically "smooth" out of a "small" set. Question. What are the known regularity results for ...

A dual theory to the theory of currents?

The k-currents are defined as dual space to the spaces of all smooth k-forms. (These monsters are used to work with the minimal k-surfaces.) Assume I want to look at the generalized k-forms; they can ...

Have we discovered constructions for natural fractional dimensional spheres?

I have been thinking about a couple different problems in fractal geometry (including I one deleted because it was ill posed) and realize they all depend in a fundamental way on the problem of: Can we ...

If the Hausforff dimension of the graph of a function $u$ is $N$ and $\tilde u = u$ a.e. then $\dim_H \mathrm{graph} \, \tilde u = N$ too

Let $\Omega$ be an open (non empty) set and $u:\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^M$ be a function such that the Hausdorff dimension of its graph is $N$. Let $\tilde u = u$ a.e. Is it true ...

Hausdorff dimension of the graph of a BV function

Let $u: \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^M$ be a $BV$ function. Is the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of $u$ equal to $N$? How can we prove it? Update. In an answer to this post, it ...

The behavior of an integral related to the inward normal vector near a point of the boundary of a domain

Inspired by this Q&A, I am asking for what kind of non-smooth domains $D$ the following limit $$ \lim_{r \to 0}\frac{1}{m(D \cap B(x,r))}\int\limits_{D \cap B(x,r)}\frac{z-x}{r}\,m(dz) $$ where $...

Banach algebra of BV functions

I would like to find a reference for the proof that functions of bounded variation make a Banach algebra. Same question for $BV\cap L^\infty$.

Box counting dimension of a set and Lipschitz functions

If $f$ is Lipschitz, then the following holds for the Hausdorff dimension: $$\dim_H f(A) \le \dim_H A.$$ Is the same true for the box counting dimension?

A question about pushforward measures and continuous Borel isomorphisms

It is fairly well known that if $\mu$ and $\nu$ are nonatomic measures on the standard Borel spaces $(X,B)$ and $(Y,C)$ such that $\mu(X)=\nu(Y)$. If $X$ and $Y$ are uncountable, then there exists a ...

Theory of mollifiers on the boundary of a $C^2$ domain

Let $D\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ be a nice but not smooth domain, somewhere between Lipschitz and $C^2$. I am looking for a reference on the theory of mollifiers and regularization for functions on $\...

Difference quotient for functions of bounded variation

Let $u:\mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^N$, $u \in BV(\mathbb{R}^N)$, be a function of bounded variation. We have that the following holds $$(\ast) \qquad \frac{1}{|B_r(0)|}\int_{B_r(0)} \frac{|u(x+z)-...

Reference request: Functions of bounded variation in one real variable

Is there a good reference for facts and theorems about BV real valued functions? I’m looking for something with much more than say Stein and Shakarchi 3, or Evans and Gariepy. Thanks!
