1058 CHAPTER 29. THE AREA FORMULA
Since y /∈ h(∪ j ̸=iU j
)the second term on the left is 0 and so d (y,Ui,h) = d (y,Ω,h) . There-
fore, by Corollary 29.12.5,∫h(Ω)
f (y)d (y,Ω,h)dy =∞
∑i=1
∫h(Ui)
f (y)d (y,Ω,h)dy
=∞
∑i=1
∫h(Ui)
f (y)d (y,Ui,h)dy =∞
∑i=1
∫XUi (x) f (h(x))det(Dh(x))dx (29.12.76)
From 29.12.75
∞
∑i=1
∫XUi (x) f (h(x)) |det(Dh(x))|dx
=∫ ∞
∑i=1
XUi (x) f (h(x)) |det(Dh(x))|dx
=∫
XΩ f (h(x)) |det(Dh(x))|dx < ∞
and so by Fubini’s theorem, the sum and the integral may be interchanged in 29.12.76 toobtain from the dominated convergence theorem,∫ ∞
∑i=1
XUi (x) f (h(x))det(Dh(x))dx
=∫
Ω
f (h(x))det(Dh(x))dx
which shows ∫h(Ω)
f (y)d (y,Ω,h)dy =∫
Ω
f (h(x))det(Dh(x))dx (29.12.77)
Now if f is Borel measurable and in L1 (Ω) , the above may be applied to the positiveparts of the real and imaginary parts of f to obtain 29.12.77 for such f . This proves thetheorem.
Not surprisingly, it is not necessary to assume f is Borel measurable.
Corollary 29.12.7 Let h be one to one on Ω and in W 1,p (Rn;Rn) , p > n. Let Ω be abounded, open set in Rn. Let f ∈ L1 (h(Ω)) where f is Lebesgue measurable. Thenx→|det(Dh(x))| f (h(x)) is Lebesgue measurable and∫
h(Ω)f (y)dy =
∫Ω
|det(Dh(x))| f (h(x))dx (29.12.78)
It can also be written in the form∫f (y)d (y,Ω,h)dy =
∫Ω
det(Dh(x)) f (h(x))dx (29.12.79)
