5Can you prove it for $n = 1$? See here for that case. – t.b. Jul 18 '11 at 09:09

@t.b. can you say more about why n=1 generalizes to the present case? The link in the only answer here is broken. It seems like all you get is cross-sectional Lipschitz and continuity properties. – Jeff Oct 20 '12 at 19:26

I should mention that I heaved a sigh of relief when I thought that "cross-sectional Lipschitz" would be enough, but the thing is it's not just one lipschitz constant, or even one for each of the n axial directions. It's a different constant for every cross section. – Jeff Oct 20 '12 at 19:34

@Jeff: See e.g. Theorem 3.3.1 in these notes – t.b. Nov 29 '12 at 14:54
