A Vitali-type lemma for the boundary

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2025-07-22 v1

Abstract

Take a set of balls in Rd\mathbb R^d. We find a subset of pairwise disjoint balls whose combined perimeter controls the perimeter of the union of the original balls. This can be seen as a boundary version of the Vitali covering lemma. We further prove combined volume-perimeter results and counterexamples and apply them to find short proofs of some regularity statements for maximal functions.
