On the structure of sets with positive reach

Abstract: We give a complete characterization of compact sets with positive reach (=proximally

C^{1}

sets) in the plane and of one-dimensional sets with positive reach in

{m a t h b b R}^{d}

. Further, we prove that if

e m p t y s e t e q A s u b s e t {m a t h b b R}^{d}

is a set of positive reach of topological dimension

0 < k l e q d

, then

A

has its "

k

-dimensional regular part"

e m p t y s e t e q R s u b s e t A

which is a

k

-dimensional "uniform"

C^{1, 1}

manifold open in

A

and

A s e t m i n u s R

can be locally covered by finitely many

(k - 1)

-dimensional DC surfaces. We also show that if

A s u b s e t {m a t h b b R}^{d}

has positive reach, then

p a r t i a l A

can be locally covered by finitely many semiconcave hypersurfaces.
