If TT is Lipschitz with constant LL on a nonempty compact subset KK of Rn\mathbb{R}^n with values in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, then the image of KK is compact and its Lebesgue measure is at most (2nL)n(2\sqrt{n}\,L)^n times that of KK.

Statement

Let nn be a natural number with 1n1\le n and let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers with the order \le of their ordered field structure. Regard Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} as a real vector space, with the sum of points, the scalar multiple, and the difference xyx-y of points; write \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert for the Euclidean norm and dEd_{E} for the Euclidean distance, a metric on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} with dE(x,y)=xyd_{E}(x,y)=\lVert x-y\rVert by claim 2 of Elementary Properties of the Euclidean Norm on Rn\mathbb{R}^n; compactness refers to the topology of the open sets of (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^{n},d_{E}), a topology by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology. Let B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) be the Borel σ\sigma-algebra and λn\lambda_{n} Lebesgue measure on it. Powers with natural exponent are those of Natural Number Power of an Element of a Field, and σn=(1,,1)\sigma_{n}=\lVert(1,\dots,1)\rVert is the positive real number with σn2=n\sigma_{n}^{2}=n introduced in Uniform Grids on a Half-Open Box and Grid Hulls of a Compact Set in Rn\mathbb{R}^n.

Let KRnK\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n} be nonempty and compact in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, let LRL\in\mathbb{R} satisfy 0L0\le L, and let T:KRnT:K\to\mathbb{R}^{n} be Lipschitz with constant LL, the metrics on KK and on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} being the Euclidean ones; that is,

T(x)T(y)Lxyfor all x,yK.\lVert T(x)-T(y)\rVert\le L\,\lVert x-y\rVert\qquad\text{for all }x,y\in K .

Write T(K)={T(x):xK}T(K)=\{T(x):x\in K\}. Then T(K)T(K) is nonempty and compact in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, both KK and T(K)T(K) belong to B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and have finite λn\lambda_{n}-measure, and

λn(T(K))(2σnL)nλn(K).\lambda_{n}\bigl(T(K)\bigr)\le\bigl(2\,\sigma_{n}\,L\bigr)^{n}\,\lambda_{n}(K).
