ABSTRACT

This last lemma has an interesting geometric interpretation. From the (7 .2-9)

we conclude that the vector dW(w0 )jdw is colinear with the outer normal vector to j(aE n W) at f(z0 ). That is, the level hypersurfaces of 'I' and

Several interesting special cases of Lemma 7 .2f can be obtained by placing

restrictions on the domain E c en. For our next result we select E to be a Reinhart domain B2p(r). This domain is defined by

and

Proof. We prove this result by applying Lemma 7 .2.e with the special

functions n q>(w) = 'lf(w) = L I Wj I2P,

from (7.2-4) and (7.2-5) of Lemma 7.2.f.
