Some measurability and continuity properties of arbitrary real functions

Given an arbitrary real function <em>f</em> , the set <em>D_f</em> of all points where <em>f</em> admits approximate limit is the maximal (with respect to the relation of inclusion except for a nullset) measurable subset of the real line having the properties that...

Description
Summary:Given an arbitrary real function <em>f</em> , the set <em>D_f</em> of all points where <em>f</em> admits approximate limit is the maximal (with respect to the relation of inclusion except for a nullset) measurable subset of the real line having the properties that the restriction of <em>f </em>to <em>D_f  </em>is measurable, and <em>f</em> is approximately continuous at almost every point of <em>D_f</em> . These results extend the well-known fact that a function is measurable if and only if it is approximately continuous almost everywhere. In addition, there exists a maximal <em>G_δ</em> -set <em>C_f</em> (which can be actually constructed from <em>f</em> ) such that it is possible to find a function<br /><em>g = f</em>  almost everywhere, whose set of points of continuity is exactly <em>C_f</em> .<br />
