Approximate high order smoothness (Q1314845)

The authors introduce the notion of the approximate \(m\)-smoothness of functions and investigate the properties of approximately continuous and approximately \(m\)-smooth functions. The inspiration of the authors was the paper of \textit{T. K. Dutta} [Acta Math. Acad. Sci. Hung. 40, 29-37 (1982; Zbl 0511.26006)] in which the notion of high order smoothness is introduced. ``\dots the purpose of this paper is to show that results analogous to those of Dutta carry over to this setting\dots''.
