Abstract

We prove that at differentiability points r0>0r_0>0 of the volume function of a compact set ARdA\subset {\mathbb R}^d (associating to rr the volume of the rr-parallel set of AA), the surface area measures of rr-parallel sets of AA converge weakly to the surface area measure of the r0r_0-parallel set as rr0r\to r_0. We further study the question which sets of parallel radii can occur as sets of non-differentiability points of the volume function of some compact set. We provide a full characterization for dimensions d=1d=1 and 22.
