Abstract

Let f: Ω → f(Ω) ⊂ ℝn be a W 1,1-homeomorphism with L 1-integrable inner distortion. We show that finiteness of min{lip f (x), k f (x)}, for every x ∈ Ω\E, implies that f −1W 1,n and has finite distortion, provided that the exceptional set E has σ-finite ℋ1-measure. Moreover, f has finite distortion, differentiable a.e. and the Jacobian J f > 0 a.e.
