Pointwise differentiability of higher order for distributions

Ulrich Menne

Published 2018-03-28, updated 2019-08-17Version 2

For distributions, we build a theory of higher order pointwise differentiability comprising, for order zero, {\L}ojasiewicz's notion of point value. Results include Borel regularity of differentials, higher order rectifiability of the associated jets, a Rademacher-Stepanov type differentiability theorem, and a Lusin type approximation. A substantial part of this development is new also for zeroth order. Moreover, we establish a Poincar\'e inequality involving the natural norms of negative order of differentiability. As a corollary, we characterise pointwise differentiability in terms of point values of distributional partial derivatives.
