- I think everyone knows the example of a derivatable function which
- is not continiously derivatively.
- f(x) = x^2*sin(1/x) for x != 0 and f(0) = 0
-
- From this function one can construct another one
- ,without loose of generality on the closed interval [0,1],
- which set of points in which the derivation is continious has lebeque measure
- epsilon for each postive epsilon < 1.
-
- My question is : Exists a function on [0,1] with a derivation but the measure
- of the set of points where this derivation is continious is zero ?
- If the answer is yes one can try to sharpen:
- Can this set of points be countable?
