Lipschitz Continuous Functions: Differentiable Almost Everywhere?

Click For Summary
A Lipschitz continuous function is indeed differentiable almost everywhere, which is supported by the Rademacher's theorem. The discussion highlights the connections between Lipschitz continuity, absolute continuity, and functions of bounded variation, noting that Lipschitz functions are absolutely continuous and thus have derivatives almost everywhere. It is emphasized that absolute continuity implies differentiability almost everywhere, while bounded variation does not guarantee this. The conversation also seeks relevant lemmas that affirm the differentiability of absolute continuous or bounded variation functions. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing the properties of Lipschitz continuous functions.

Someone told me that a continuous function that is Lipschitz is differentiable almost every where. If this is true how do I see it?

Think about the relationship between Lipschitz, Absolute Continuity, and Bounded Variation. Which implies the other? Do you know any lemma that states that an AC or BV function has derivative almost everywhere?
