A gradient map of a real function on an open subset of Euclidean space is a Borel vector field on the whole space that agrees with the gradient of the function at every point of the open set outside a Lebesgue-null set, the function being differentiable there.

Statement

Let dd be a natural number, let λd\lambda_{d} be Lebesgue measure on B(Rd)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}), with its null sets, let D⊆RdD\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d} be open and let f:D→Rf:D\to\mathbb{R}. At a point x∈Dx\in D at which ff is differentiable, Df(x)∈RdDf(x)\in\mathbb{R}^{d} is the gradient of ff at xx.

(Gradient map) A gradient map of ff is a map ∇f:Rd→Rd\nabla f:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{R}^{d}, measurable with respect to B(Rd)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) on both sides, for which there is a null set N⊆RdN\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d} such that at every x∈D∖Nx\in D\setminus N the function ff is differentiable and ∇f(x)=Df(x)\nabla f(x)=Df(x).
