In 1990 Kechris and Louveau developed the theory of three very natural ranks on the Baire class $1$ functions. A rank is a function assigning countable ordinals to certain objects, typically measuring their complexity. We extend this theory…

The theory of ordinal ranks on Baire class 1 functions developed by Kechris and Loveau was recently extended by Elekes, Kiss and Vidny\'{a}nszky to Baire class $\xi$ functions for any countable ordinal $\xi\geq1$. In this paper, we answer…

The set of continuous or Baire class 1 functions defined on a metric space $X$ is endowed with the natural pointwise partial order. We investigate how the possible lengths of well-ordered monotone sequences (with respect to this order)…

We give a new characterization of the Baire class 1 functions (defined on an ultrametric space) by proving that they are exactly the pointwise limits of sequences of full functions (which are particularly simple Lipschitz functions).…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

We answer two questions from {\it V.Bykov, On Baire class one functions on a product space, Topol. Appl. {199} (2016) 55--62,} and prove that every Baire one function on a subspace of a countable perfectly normal product is the pointwise…

This paper introduces the ring of all real valued Baire one functions, denoted by $B_1(X)$ and also the ring of all real valued bounded Baire one functions, denoted by $B_1^*(X)$. Though the resemblance between $C(X)$ and $B_1(X)$ is the…

We prove that if $X$ is a paracompact space, $Y$ is a metric space and $f:X\to Y$ is a functionally fragmented map, then (i) $f$ is $\sigma$-discrete and functionally $F_\sigma$-measurable; (ii) $f$ is a Baire-one function, if $Y$ is weak…

We consider various collections of functions from the Baire space X into itself naturally arising in (effective) descriptive set theory and general topology, including computable (equivalently, recursive) functions, contraction mappings,…

Let $K$ be a compact metric space. A real-valued function on $K$ is said to be of Baire class one (Baire-1) if it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions. In this paper, we study two well known ordinal indices of…

We define a family of three related reducibilities, $\leq_T$, $\leq_{tt}$ and $\leq_m$, for arbitrary functions $f,g:X\rightarrow\mathbb R$, where $X$ is a compact separable metric space. The $\equiv_T$-equivalence classes mostly coincide…

Certain subclasses of $B_1(K)$, the Baire-1 functions on a compact metric space $K$, are defined and characterized. Some applications to Banach spaces are given.

It is proved that every function of finite Baire index on a separable metric space $K$ is a $D$-function, i.e., a difference of bounded semi-continuous functions on $K$. In fact it is a strong $D$-function, meaning it can be approximated…

We investigate the existence of well-ordered sequences of Baire 1 functions on separable metric spaces.

We introduce the generalized notion of semicontinuity of a function defined on a topological space and derive the useful classification of the so-called Lipschitz derivatives of functions defined on a metric space. Secondly, we investigate…

We investigate the Baire classification of mappings $f:X\times Y\to Z$, where $X$ belongs to a wide class of spaces, which includes all metrizable spaces, $Y$ is a topological space, $Z$ is an equiconnected space, which are continuous in…

We prove the following two results. 1. If $X$ is a completely regular space such that for every topological space $Y$ each separately continuous function $f:X\times Y\to\mathbb R$ is of the first Baire class, then every Lindel\"of subspace…

Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous functions are well-behaved in that they are the pointwise…

A topological space $X$ is Baire if the Baire Category Theorem holds for $X$, i.e., the intersection of any sequence of open dense subsets of $X$ is dense in $X$. In this paper, we have obtained that the space $B^{st}_1(X)$ of pointwise…

A classical theorem of Kuratowski says that every Baire one function on a G_\delta subspace of a Polish (= separable completely metrizable) space X can be extended to a Baire one function on X. Kechris and Louveau introduced a finer…
