A general chain rule for distributional derivatives. (English) Zbl 0685.49027

Summary: We prove a general chain rule for the distributional derivatives of the composite function \(v(x)=f(u(x))\), where u: \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\to {\mathbb{R}}^ m\) has bounded variation and f: \({\mathbb{R}}^ m\to {\mathbb{R}}^ k\) is Lipschitz continuous.
