Abstract: We give an alternative proof of the general chain rule for functions of bounded variation ([ADM90]), which allows to compute the distributional differential of $varphicircF$, where $varphiinmathrmLIP(mathbb{R}^m)$ and $FinmathrmBV(mathbb{R}^n,mathbb{R}^m)$. In our argument we build on top of recently established links between `closability of certain differentiation operators' and `differentiability of Lipschitz functions in related directions' ([ABM23]): we couple this with the observation that `the map that takes $varphi$ and returns the distributional differential of $varphicircF$ is closable' to conclude. Unlike previous results in this direction, our proof can directly be adapted to the non-smooth setting of finite dimensional RCD spaces.
