We investigate a known problem whether a Sobolev homeomorphism between domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can change sign of the Jacobian. The only case that remains open is when $f\in W^{1,[n/2]}$, $n\geq 4$. We prove that if $n\geq 4$, and a…

This paper investigates the differentiability of weak limits of bi-Sobolev homeomorphisms. Given $p>n-1$, consider a sequence of homeomorphisms $f_k$ with positive Jacobians $J_{f_k} >0$ almost everywhere and $\sup_k(\|f_{k}\|_{W^{1,n-1}} +…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open set and let $f\in W^{1,p}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a weak (sequential) limit of Sobolev homeomorphisms. Then $f$ is injective almost everywhere for $p>n-1$ both in the image and in the domain. For…

We construct an almost everywhere approximately differentiable, orientation and measure preserving homeomorphism of a unit $n$-dimensional cube onto itself, whose Jacobian is equal to $-1$ a.e. Moreover we prove that our homeomorphism can…

Every homeomorphism h : X -> Y between planar open sets that belongs to the Sobolev class W^{1,p}(X,Y), 1<p<\infty, can be approximated in the Sobolev norm by diffeomorphisms.

Given a Sobolev homeomorphism $f\in W^{2,1}$ in the plane we find a piecewise quadratic homeomorphism that approximates it up to a set of $\epsilon$ measure. We show that this piecewise quadratic map can be approximated by diffeomorphisms…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be an open set and $f_k \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a sequence of homeomorphisms weakly converging to $f \in W^{s,p}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^n)$. It is known that if $s=1$ and $p > n-1$ then $f$ is…

We obtain the rectifiability of the graph of a bounded variation homeomorphism $f$ in the plane and relations between gradients of $f$ and its inverse. Further, we show an example of a bounded variation homeomorphism $f$ in the plane which…

The first goal of this paper is to give a short description of the planar bi-Sobolev homeomorphisms, providing simple and self-contained proofs for some already known properties. In particular, for any such homeomorphism $u:\Omega\to…

We show that for any $k$ and $s > \frac{k+1}{k+2}$ there exist neither $W^{s,\frac{k}{s}}$-Sobolev nor $C^s$-H\"older homeomorphisms from the disk $\mathbb{B}^n$ into $\mathbb{R}^N$ whose gradient has rank $< k$ in distributional sense.…

We prove that given a sequence of homeomorphisms $f_k: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}^n$ convergent in $W^{1,p}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^n)$, $p \geq 1$ for $n =2$ and $p > n-1$ for $n \geq 3$, to a homeomorphism $f$ which maps sets of measure zero onto…

We extend the well-known result that any $f \in W^{1,n}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^n)$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with strictly positive Jacobian is actually continuous: it is also true for fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s,\frac{n}{s}}(\Omega)$…

We construct planar bi-Sobolev mappings whose local volume distortion is bounded from below by a given function $f\in L^p$ with $p>1$, i.e. bi-Sobolev solutions for the prescribed Jacobian inequality in the plane for right-hand sides $f\in…

The approximation of Sobolev homeomorphisms by smooth diffeomorphisms is well understood in first-order spaces $W^{1,p}$, but remains largely open in the second-order space $W^{2,1}$ due to a fundamental tension between curvature control…

The well-known Bohr--P\'al theorem asserts that for every continuous real-valued function $f$ on the circle $\mathbb T$ there exists a change of variable, i.e., a homeomorphism $h$ of $\mathbb T$ onto itself, such that the Fourier series of…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a bounded open set. Given $1\leq m_1,m_2\leq n-2$, we construct a homeomorphism $f :\Omega\to \Omega$ that is H\"older continuous, $f$ is the identity on $\partial \Omega$, the derivative $D f$ has rank…

We show that homeomorphisms $f$ in ${\Bbb R}^n$, $n\geqslant3$, of finite distortion in the Orlicz--Sobolev classes $W^{1,\varphi}_{\rm loc}$ with a condition on $\varphi$ of the Calderon type and, in particular, in the Sobolev classes…

Let $\mathbb X$ and $\mathbb Y$ be $\ell$-connected Jordan domains, $\ell \in \mathbb N$, with rectifiable boundaries in the complex plane. We prove that any boundary homeomorphism $\varphi \colon \partial \mathbb X \to \partial \mathbb Y$…

We study the basic question of characterizing which boundary homeomorphisms of the unit sphere can be extended to a Sobolev homeomorphism of the interior in 3D space. While the planar variants of this problem are well-understood, completely…

Let X and Y be bounded multiply connected Lipschitz domains in \R^2. We consider the class H_p (X, Y) of homeomorphisms h : X -> Y in the Sobolev space W^{1,p} (X, \R^2). We prove that the weak and strong closures of H_p (X, Y), 2 \le p<…
