Coarea-like formula for BV function (not its derivative)

42 Views Asked by At

Let $f \in BV(\Omega)$. The coarea formula states that

$$Df = \int_{\mathbb R} D \chi_{\{f >h\}} \, dh.$$

Do we also have that $$f = \int_{\mathbb R} \chi_{\{f >h\}} \, dh$$ holds?

That depends on whether or not $$0 = \int_{-\infty}^0 1 \, dh.$$
