Review text

A class of real-valued locally Lipschitz functions is introduced in this paper, namely, arc-wise essentially smooth functions. Semi-smooth functions and pseudo-regular functions are such examples. It was shown that the composition of an arc-wise essentially smooth function and a componentwise strictly differentiable almost everywhere one is strictly differentiable almost everywhere. This provides a large class of Lipschitz functions whose generalized derivatives are extremely well-behaved. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0857.00037].
