The integral of the mean curvature vector over a closed immersed surface Thanks for the reply. I'll have to think a bit more before I can digest this fully. |

The integral of the mean curvature vector over a closed immersed surface Hi Willie, thanks for the answer. Could you elaborate a little more on why there is no canonical vector space in which the mean curvature of a submanifold lives? I would have naively thought the Euclidean analogue works under mild conditions on the ambient space. |

The integral of the mean curvature vector over a closed immersed surface @Theo Thanks for the summary. Exact components in which basis, the standard Euclidean basis? I didn't think of trying that. The generalisation you mention really answers the question I have posed. |

The integral of the mean curvature vector over a closed immersed surface @Willie I meant by this that $\Sigma$ has a Riemannian structure induced by $f$. I shall make it more explicit. |

The integral of the mean curvature vector over a closed immersed surface @anon Since I can't see the proof, it may also be that they are assuming the surface is embedded and has genus 0. Sometimes this went without saying. |

The integral of the mean curvature vector over a closed immersed surface @anon My university doesn't have a subscription to that journal, and it would be nice to see what kind of conditions they impose on $f$ and $\Sigma$ to obtain their result. |

derivative must be bounded on interior for a differentiable function on a closed interval @Didier I've been thinking of $f\in C^1$. |

derivative must be bounded on interior for a differentiable function on a closed interval @Olivier I see that this is my miscommunication. All this time I have been 'explaining' my statement in my first comment. I completely ignored the OP's definition. |

derivative must be bounded on interior for a differentiable function on a closed interval @Olivier Let $f$ be your function. $|f'(\epsilon)| > c\epsilon^{-1}$ for some finite $c$. |

derivative must be bounded on interior for a differentiable function on a closed interval @Olivier This just bounds the function itself at zero. The derivative is still unbounded in any open interval containing zero, and since by hypothesis $f$ is differentiable, zero cannot be in $[a,b]$. |

derivative must be bounded on interior for a differentiable function on a closed interval @Olivier Not really, the derivative of that function is bounded on any closed interval not containing zero, and zero is not allowed in the interval because the function is not differentiable at zero. I think you may be confused. |

derivative must be bounded on interior for a differentiable function on a closed interval @Olivier Sometimes $f$ being differentiable is shorthand for $f\in C^1$, and if $f\in C^1$ over a closed interval, then $f'\in C^0$ and is bounded. |

Nonlinear Fubini-Tonelli? @Shai In this question let's leave it at $f(y)$, since that's where all the discussion has headed. I had $f(x,y)$ in mind, which one could probably guess from my comments, but my mistake for not writing it correctly in the first place :). |
