Multidimensional variations of sets and their contingencies (Q800515)

The paper deals with bounded closed sets in n dimensional Euclidean space. If for some natural \(p\leq n-1\) the Vitushkin variation \(V_{p+1}(E)\) equals zero and if \(V_ k(E,n,p)=\int V_ 0(E\cap t)^{(n-p)/(n-k)}d\mu <+\infty,\) where t is a (n-k)-dimensional hyperplane and \(\mu\) is the Haar measure on the space of all such hyperplanes, and the above inequality takes place for all \(k\in\{0,...,p\}\), then the tangent p-plane exists at almost all points of E in the sense of Hausdorff p-measure. The above quoted theorem is more general than the theorem of \textit{L. D. Ivanov} [Variation of sets and functions (Russian) (1975)].
