Linearly ordered families of Baire 1 functions (Q1852442): Difference between revisions

The author considers the set of Baire 1 functions endowed with the pointwise partial ordering and investigates the structure of linearly ordered subsets. By a theorem of Kuratowski \(\omega _1\) is not representable by real Baire 1 functions. The main goal of this paper is to present some constructions of representable ordered sets which show that Kuratowski's theorem is not too far from being characterization.
