摘要
We derive a formula for the first variation of horizontal perimeter measure for C-2 hypersurfaces of completely general sub-Riemannian manifolds, allowing for the existence of characteristic points. When the manifold admits dilations, we establish a sub-Riemannian Minkowski formula. For C-2 hypersurfaces in vertically rigid sub-Riemannian manifolds we also produce a second variation formula for variations supported away from the characteristic locus.
