The limit processes were shown to live on the normal cylinder $\\Sigma$ of $K$, respectively on a class of set-valued derivatives in $\\Sigma$. The latter result was based on the concept of differentiation of sets at the boundary $\\partial K$ of $K$, which was developed in Khmaladze (2007). Here, we extend the theory of set-valued derivatives to boundaries $\\partial F$ of rather general closed sets $F\\subset \\R$, making use of a local Steiner formula for closed sets, established in Hug, Last and Weil (2004).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-09-19T11:57:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "general case", "differentiation", "compact convex sets", "set-valued derivatives", "local steiner formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.4945K" } } }
