The total variation TV(u) of the Jacobian determinant of nonsmooth vector fields u has recently been studied in [2] [3]. We focus on the subclass u(x) = ϕ(x/|x|) of homogeneous extensions of smooth functions ϕ : ∂Bn → Rn. In the case n = 2, we explicitely compute TV(u) for some relevant examples exhibiting a gap with respect to the total variation |DetDu| of the distributional determinant. We then provide examples of functions with |DetDu| = 0 and TV(u) = +∞. We finally show that this gap phenomenon doesn’t occur if n ≥ 3.

Abstract
The total variation TV(u) of the Jacobian determinant of nonsmooth vector fields u has recently been studied in [2] [3]. We focus on the subclass u(x) = ϕ(x/|x|) of homogeneous extensions of smooth functions ϕ : ∂Bn → Rn. In the case n = 2, we explicitely compute TV(u) for some relevant examples exhibiting a gap with respect to the total variation |DetDu| of the distributional determinant. We then provide examples of functions with |DetDu| = 0 and TV(u) = +∞. We finally show that this gap phenomenon doesn’t occur if n ≥ 3.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
