A. Colesanti et D. Hug, Steiner type formulae and weighted measures of singularities for semi-convex functions, T AM MATH S, 352(7), 2000, pp. 3239-3263
For a given convex (semi-convex) function u, defined on a nonempty open con
vex set Omega subset of R-n, we establish a local Steiner type formula, the
coefficients of which are nonnegative (signed) Borel measures. We also det
ermine explicit integral representations for these coefficient measures, wh
ich are similar to the integral representations for the curvature measures
of convex bodies (and, more generally, of sets with positive reach). We pro
ve that, for r is an element of {0,...,n}, the r-th coefficient measure of
the local Steiner formula for u, restricted to the set of r-singular points
of u, is absolutely continuous with respect to the r-dimensional Hausdorff
measure, and that its density is the (n-r)-dimensional Hausdorff measure o
f the subgradient of u.
As an application, under the assumptions that u is convex and Lipschitz, an
d Omega is bounded, we get sharp estimates for certain weighted Hausdorff m
easures of the sets of r-singular points of u. Such estimates depend on the
Lipschitz constant of u and on the quermassintegrals of the topological cl
osure of Omega.
