In recent work by Khmaladze and Weil (2008) and by Einmahl and Khmaladze (2011), limit theorems were established for local empirical processes near the boundary of compact convex sets K in \R. The limit processes were shown to live on the normal cylinder Σ of K, respectively on a class of set-valued derivatives in Σ. The latter result was based on the concept of differentiation of sets at the boundary ∂ K of K, which was developed in Khmaladze (2007). Here, we extend the theory of set-valued derivatives to boundaries ∂ F of rather general closed sets F⊂ \R, making use of a local Steiner formula for closed sets, established in Hug, Last and Weil (2004).
