Abstract
Let be the power set of . An upper density (on ) is a non\-decreasing and subadditive function such that and for all and , where . The upper asymptotic, upper Banach, upper logarithmic, upper Buck, upper P\'olya, and upper analytic densities are examples of upper densities. We show that every upper density has the strong Darboux property, and so does the associated lower density, where a function is said to have the strong Darboux property if, whenever and , there is a set such that and . In fact, we prove the above under the assumption that the monotonicity of is relaxed to the weaker condition that for every .
