Differentiation theorems for BV functions of several variables, and applications
Abstract
We extend the classical Lebesgue and Fubini differentiation theorems to functions of several variables, using the notions of joint derivative and joint monotonicity. Our first main result shows that for a function $f$ of bounded variation, the joint derivative exists almost everywhere, its $L^1$ norm is bounded by the total variation of $f$, and equality in this bound characterizes absolute continuity. Our second main result shows that, for a convergent series of jointly monotone increasing functions, the joint derivative of the sum equals the sum of the joint derivatives almost everywhere.
