Abstract

The operation R of symmetric decreasing rearrangement maps W^1,p(ℝⁿ) to W^1,p(ℝⁿ). Even though it is norm decreasing we show that R is not continuous for n ≥ 2. The functions at which R is continuous are precisely characterized by a new property called co-area regularity. Every sufficiently differentiable function is co-area regular, and both the regular and the irregular functions are dense in W^1,p(Rⁿ).
