Then $$ \lim_{\lambda\to 0}\frac{{\cal D}(p+\lambda q)-{\cal D}(p)}{\lambda}=\sup_{t\in {\bf t}} \sum_{i=1}^n (t_i-T_i(p,t)) \gamma_i (p,t,q) $$ with $t=(t_1,\ldots,t_n),\ T=T(p,t)=(T_1 \ldots, T_n),\ {\bf t}=\arg {\cal D}(p),\ q\in {\cal P},$ $$ \gamma_i(p,t,q)=-\sum_{j=1}^{m} \int\limits_{\Delta} [\delta_i(x,T)q_i (x+T)]_{T_i}'\ dx\times $$ $$ \times \left( \sum_{j=1}^m \int\limits_{\Delta} \left[ \delta_i(x,T)(p_j)_{T_i}' (x+T)\right]_{T_i}'\ dx \right)^{-1}, $$ $$ \delta_j(x,T)=|p_j(x+T)-\varphi_j(x)|^{\alpha-1} \mbox{sign} [p_j(x+T)-\varphi_j(x)],\quad \varphi=(\varphi_1,\ldots, \varphi_m). $$ The work has been supported by RSFI grant \No~96-01-00121. %\end{large} \end{document}
