$lim_{h to 0^+} frac{mathcal L (f^{-1}([x,x+h)))}{h}$ where $f^{-1}$ is the preimage of a Lipschitz function

$begingroup$


Motivated by the question Compute derivative of $g(x)=mathcal L({y in [a,b]: x >f(y)})$, I'd like to ask:



Let $f:mathbb{R} to mathbb{R}$. How can one compute the limit $$lim_{h to 0^+} frac{mathcal L(f^{-1}([x,x+h))}{h},$$
where $f^{-1}$ denotes the pre-image of $f$; $mathcal L$ the Lebesgue measure; and
assuming only that $f$ is Lipschitz continuous?



In the special case $f$ monotone, the question is much easier, since
$$f^{-1}([x,x+h)) = [f^{-1}(x), f^{-1}(x+h)).$$

    Why is that not nonsense? Given a set A of real numbers and a nonzero h, what is A/h? If for all nonzero h, g(h) is a set of real numbers, what is the limit of g(h) as h approaches zero? What happens when h is negative?

    Limit as h -> 0 indicates h can be positive or negative. For h < 0, [x,x+h) is empty, giving a liminf of 0. Thus, if there is a limit, it has to be zero.

    @WilliamElliot I've edited the question to address this ambiguity: we consider only $h to 0^+$.
