Hausdorff dimension of the non-differentiability set of a locally Lipschitz function

Let $f:\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ and $E := \{x \in X : f \text{ not Fréchet differentiable at }x\}$. Then $E$ is Borel measurable. It is well-known that Theorem If $f$ is convex, then the Hausdorff …

Optimal Transport: how is this transport map Borel measurable?

I'm reading Theorem 1.17. and its proof at page 14 of Santambrogio's Optimal transport for applied mathematicians. The content is not hard but a little bit long (because of related detail). Please sav …

Hausdorff dimension of the non-differentiability set a convex function

Let $X \subset \mathbb R^d$ be open, $f : X \to \mathbb R$ and $$ E := \{x \in X : f \text{ is not Fréchet differentiable at }x\}. $$ Then we have the following result which is Theorem: If $X= \mathb …
