Points of uniform convergence and oscillation of sequences of functions (Q1898981)

It is known that the pointwise limit of a sequence of functions does not carry many important properties of the members of the sequence onto the limit function. Consequently, various types of convergence have been introduced which are stronger than the pointwise convergence. In the first part, we study properties of some local types of uniform convergence which are sufficient for proving the continuity at one point of pointwise limit of a sequence of functions. In the second part, we discuss the topological structure of the sets of all points of a local type uniform convergence. In the third part, we give some applications of our results. We give a new proof of the well-known theorem according to which the set of discontinuity points of an arbitrary function in the first Baire class is a set of the first Baire category. We prove that the set of strong differentiability points of any continuous function is a \(G_\delta\) set. Applying this result, we obtain new proofs of the known facts that the set of all strong (or uniform symmetric) differentiability points of continuous symmetric differentiable function is residual.
