Let $U$ be an open set in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A continuous function $f\colon U \to \mathbb{R}$ is strongly nowhere differentiable if and only if for each $\gamma\in(0,1]$ and for each unit speed $C^{1,\gamma}$ curve $c\colon [a,b] \to U$, the…

We examine a parameterized family of functions F_a, all of which are continuous and some of which are nowhere or almost nowhere differentiable, we explore the behavior of F'_a and F"_a almost everywhere for different values of a, focusing…

Suppose that E is a Banach space, {\tau} a topology under which the norm of E becomes {\tau}-lower semicontinuous and S a commuting family of {\tau}-continuous nonexpansive mappings defined on a {\tau}-compact convex subset C of E: It is…

We will give an elementary nonstandard proof that the family of generalized blancmange functions are nowhere differentiable. The proof follows from the intuitive characterization of differentiability at a point as almost $\delta$ affine…

It is shown that a set in product of $n$ metrizable spaces is the discontinuity points set of some separately continuous function if and only if this set can be represented as the union of a sequence of $F_{\sigma}$-sets which are locally…

We study properties of strongly separately continuous mappings defined on subsets of products of topological spaces equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence. In particular, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a…

It is obtained necessary and sufficient conditions of dependence on $\aleph$ coordinates for functions of several variables, each of which is a product of metrizable factors. The set of discontinuity points of such functions is…

We investigate the differentiability properties of real-valued quasiconvex functions f defined on a separable Banach space X. Continuity is only assumed to hold at the points of a dense subset. If so, this subset is automatically residual.…

We construct an algebra of dimension $2^{\aleph_0}$ consisting only of functions which in no point possess a finite one-sided derivative. We further show that some well known nowhere differentiable functions generate algebras, which contain…

In this paper, using the tools from the lineability theory, we distinguish certain subsets of $p$-adic differentiable functions. Specifically, we show that the following sets of functions are large enough to contain an infinite dimensional…

We obtain a criterion for an analytic subset of a Euclidean space to contain points of differentiability of a typical Lipschitz function, namely, that it cannot be covered by countably many sets, each of which is closed and purely…

For a family of continuous functions $f_1,f_2,\dots \colon I \to \mathbb{R}$ ($I$ is a fixed interval) with $f_1\le f_2\le \dots$ define a set $$ I_f:=\big\{x \in I \colon \lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(x)=+\infty\big\}.$$ We study the properties…

This paper studies a large class of continuous functions $f:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}^d$ whose range is the attractor of an iterated function system $\{S_1,\dots,S_{m}\}$ consisting of similitudes. This class includes such classical examples as…

This paper examines level sets of two families of continuous, nowhere differentiable functions (one a subfamily of the other) defined in terms of the "tent map". The well-known Takagi function is a special case. Sharp upper bounds are given…

We show that no matter what subset of a normed space is given, a typical 1-Lipschitz mapping into a Banach space is non-differentiable at a typical point of the set in a very strong sense: the derivative ratio approximates, on arbitrary…

We prove that for every function $f:X\to Y$, where $X$ is a separable Banach space and $Y$ is a Banach space with RNP, there exists a set $A\in\tilde\mcA$ such that $f$ is Gateaux differentiable at all $x\in S(f)\setminus A$, where $S(f)$…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a class P of continuous and periodic functions on R. The class P is defined so that second-order central differences of a function satisfy some concavity-type estimate. Although this definition…

One of the classical results concerning differentiability of continuous functions states that the set $\mathcal{SD}$ of somewhere differentiable functions (i.e., functions which are differentiable at some point) is Haar-null in the space…

A continuous selection of polynomial functions is a continuous function whose domain can be partitioned into finitely many pieces on which the function coincides with a polynomial. Given a set of finitely many polynomials, we show that…

Structural properties are given for $D(K)$, the Banach algebra of (complex) differences of bounded semi-continuous functons on a metric space $K$. For example, it is proved that if all finite derived sets of $K$ are non-empty, then a…
