A characterization of the total variation T V u , Ω of the Jacobian determinant det D u is obtained for some classes of functions u : Ω R n outside the traditional regularity space W 1 , n Ω ; R n . In particular, explicit formulas are deduced for functions that are locally Lipschitz continuous away from a given one point singularity x 0 Ω . Relations between T V u , Ω and the distributional determinant Det D u are established, and an integral representation is obtained for the relaxed energy of certain polyconvex functionals at maps u W 1 , p Ω ; R n W 1 , Ω x 0 ; R n . ...
