Extreme results on certain generalized Riemann derivatives (Q1704429)

Let \(r\) be a positive integer. The main result of the paper under review establishes that for certain generalized Riemann derivatives of order \(r\), there exists a function \(f:{\mathbb R}\rightarrow {\mathbb R}\) which is \((r-1)\)-times continuously differentiable and such that this \(r\)th generalized derivative does not exist on the whole real axis. A related result of this paper establishes that such a function \(f\) exists for the classical \(r\)th Riemann derivative and if \(r\) is an odd positive integer.
