It is well known that if E is a set with locally finite perimeter (or a Caccioppoli set), then the (n-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the difference between essential boundary of E and reduced boundary of E is zero. Two questions rise naturally: 1.Can we have the refined equality that the (n-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the difference between the boundary of E and the reduced boundary of E is zero? 2.For what kind of functions f can we have the level sets of f satisfy the statement in 1? This thesis will deal with these problems in chapter 1 and 2. In appendix A and B, we give another proof of isoperimetric inequality, and redefine the reduced boundary of a set. We prove that the reduced boundaryunder new definition is (n-1)- dimensional Hausdorff measure measurable. This solves the measurability of the reduced boundary under original definition with respect to (n-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure.
