We verify the existence of a purely unrectifiable set in which the typical Lipschitz function has a large set of full differentiability points. The example arises from a construction, due to Cs\"ornyei, Preiss and Ti\v{s}er, of a universal…
We prove Banach, Newton-Raphson and Brouwer fixed point theorems in the framework of generalized smooth functions, a minimal extension of Colombeau's theory (and hence of classical distribution theory) which makes it possible to model…
It is shown that if $S$ is a commuting family of weak$^{\ast }$ continuous nonexpansive mappings acting on a weak$^{\ast }$ compact convex subset $C$ of the dual Banach space $E$, then the set of common fixed points of $S$ is a nonempty…
Let CBV denote the Banach algebra of all continuous real-valued functions of bounded variation, defined in [0,1]. We show that the set of strongly singular functions in CBV is nonseparably spaceable. We also prove that certain families of…
We extend the classical Lebesgue and Fubini differentiation theorems to functions of several variables, using the notions of joint derivative and joint monotonicity. Our first main result shows that for a function $f$ of bounded variation,…
We give a short proof, that can be used in an introductory real analysis course, that if a function that is defined on the set of real numbers is continuous on a countable dense set, then it is continuous on an uncountable set. This is done…
In this paper, several differentiability criteria for real functions of multiple variables in n-dimensional Euclidean space are considered. Simple and easy-to-use Cauchy-like criterion is formulated and proven. Relaxed sufficient conditions…
Let T be Takagi's continuous but nowhere-differentiable function. Using a representation in terms of Rademacher series due to N. Kono, we give a complete characterization of those points where T has a left-sided, right-sided, or two-sided…
In this paper, we prove that for some Generalized Takagi Classes, in particular for the Takagi-Van der Waerden Class, the functions are nowhere differentiable if, and only if, the sequence of weights does not belong to $c_0$.
We consider a class of "box-like" statistically self-affine functions, and compute the almost-sure box-counting dimension of their graphs. Furthermore, we consider the differentiability of our functions, and prove that, depending on an…
In the first part of this paper we establish, in terms of so called k-tangential sets, a kind of optimal estimate for the size and structure of the set of non-differentiability of Lipshitz functions with one-sided directional derivatives.…
We provide the following result and its discrete equivalent: Let $f \colon I^n \to \mathbb{R}^{n-1}$ be a continuous function. Then, there exist a point $p \in \mathbb{R}^{n-1}$ and a compact subset $S \subset…
We show that there exists an entire function which has neither fixed points nor invariant Baker domains. The question whether such a function exists was raised by Buff.
We prove that every continuous function on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space X can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions with no critical points. This kind of result can be regarded as a sort of very strong approximate…
As an application of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem we prove that a continuously differentiable convex function with gradient of constant norm is an affine mapping. It is a first-order characterization of affine mappings among continuously…
We discuss some surprising phenomena from basic calculus related to oscillating functions and to the theorem on the differentiability of inverse functions. Among other things, we see that a continuously differentiable function with a strict…
It is shown that quasi all continuous functions on the unit circle have the property that, for many small subsets E of the circle, the partial sums of their Fourier series considered as functions restricted to E exhibit certain universality…
Answering a question asked by K.C. Ciesielski and T. Glatzer in 2013, we construct a $C^1$-smooth function $f$ on $[0,1]$ and a set $M \subset \operatorname{graph} f$ nowhere dense in $\operatorname{graph} f$ such that there does not exist…
We prove two theorems about differentiable functions on the Banach space C(K), where K is compact. (i) If C(K) admits a non-trivial function of class C^m and of bounded support, then all continuous real-valued functions on C(K) may be…
This paper is concerned with the characterizations of fixed points of the generating function of branching processes with countably infinitely many types. We assume each particle of type $i$ can only give offspring of type $j\geq i$, whose…
