Abstract

Let f ⁣:R2Rf\colon\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}. The notions of feebly continuity and very feebly continuity of ff at a point x,yR2\langle x,y\rangle\in\mathbb{R}^2 were considered by I. Leader in 2009. We study properties of the sets FC(f)FC(f) (respectively, VFC(f)FC(f)VFC(f)\supset FC(f)) of points at which ff is feebly continuous (very feebly continuous). We prove that VFC(f)VFC(f) is densely nonmeager, and, if ff has the Baire property (is measurable), then FC(f)FC(f) is residual (has full outer Lebesgue measure). We describe several examples of functions ff for which FC(f)VFC(f)FC(f)\neq VFC(f). Then we consider the notion of two-feebly continuity which is strictly weaker than very feebly continuity. We prove that the set of points where (an arbitrary) ff is two-feebly continuous forms a residual set of full outer measure. Finally, we study the existence of large algebraic structures inside or outside various sets of feebly continuous functions.
