Abstract

Let s(nn+1,1)s\in(\frac{n}{n+1},1), ΩRn\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n be an open set and let fWs,n/s(Ω,Rn)f\in W^{s,n/s}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n) be mapping with positive distributional Jacobian Jf>0\mathcal{J}_f>0 which models some deformation in fractional Nonlinear Elasticity. We show change of variables formula in this class and as a consequence we show that the analogue of Ciarlet-Ne\v{c}as condition Jf(Ω)=f(Ω)\mathcal{J}_f(\Omega)=|f(\Omega)| implies that our mapping is one-to-one a.e.
