    Let \(\mathcal F\) and \(F\) be families of real functions defined on the line. Denote by \(A(\mathcal F)\) the minimal cardinal \(m\) such that if card\((F)\geq m\) and \(g\) is a real function then \(f+g\notin \mathcal F\), for some \(f\in F\). Let \(\mathfrak c\) be the cardinality of the real numbers. The authors prove that, e.g., \(A(\mathcal F)={\mathfrak c}^+\), if \(\mathcal F\) is the class of extendable functions, or functions of perfect road, respectively, and \(A(\mathcal F)=2^{\mathfrak c}\), if \(\mathcal F\) is the class of peripherally continuous functions. They also consider a multiplicative analogue of the problem.
