Abstract

We prove that for a continuum KRnK\subset \mathbb R^n the sum K+nK^{+n} of nn copies of KK has non-empty interior in Rn\mathbb R^n if and only if KK is not flat in the sense that the affine hull of KK coincides with Rn\mathbb R^n. Moreover, if KK is locally connected and each non-empty open subset of KK in not flat, then for any (analytic) non-meager subset AKA\subset K the sum A+nA^{+n} of nn copies of AA is not meager in Rn\mathbb R^n (and then the sum A+2nA^{+2n} of 2n2n copies of the analytic set AA has non-empty interior in Rn\mathbb R^n and the set (AA)+n(A-A)^{+n} is a neighborhood of zero in Rn\mathbb R^n). This implies that a mid-convex function f:DRf:D\to\mathbb R, defined on an open convex subset DRnD\subset\mathbb R^n is continuous if it is upper bounded on some non-flat continuum in DD or on a non-meager analytic subset of a locally connected nowhere flat subset of DD.
