On some properties of sets blocking almost continuous functions. (Q1852471)

A closed set \(B \subset I\times {\mathcal R}\) is blocking if \(f \cap B = \emptyset \) for at least one function \(f:I \to {\mathcal R}\) and \(g \cap B \neq \emptyset \) for each continuous function \(g:I \to {\mathcal R}\). For a blocking set \(B \subset I\times {\mathcal R}\) let \({\mathcal E} = \{ [a,b];\text{there\;\;is\;\;a\;\;continuous}\;\; h:[0,a] \to {\mathcal R}\;\;\text{with}\;\;h(a)=b\;\;\text{and}\;\;h\cap B = \emptyset \} \) and let \({\mathcal N}(B) = (I\times {\mathcal R}) \setminus (B\cup {\mathcal E}(B))\). Using these operators the author gives new proofs of some classical theorems and proves some new theorems on the almost continuity and on the uniform limits of sequences of almost continuous functions.
