Abstract: | For locally finite unions of sets with positive reach in R
d, generalized unit normal bundles are introduced in support of a certain set additive index function. Given an appropriate orientation to the normal bundle, signed curvature measures may be defined by means of associated locally rectifiable currents (with index function as multiplicity) and specially chosen differential forms. In the case of regular sets this is shown to be equivalent to well-known classical concepts via former results. The present approach leads to unified methods in proving integral-geometric relations. Some of them are stated in this paper. |
