Continuity properties of Peano derivatives in several variables (Q1912733)

The authors introduce the notion of \((n+ s)\)-\textit{times Peano boundedness} for functions from \(\mathbb{R}^m\) to \(\mathbb{R}\). This property is stronger than that of \(n\)-times Peano differentiability but is essentially weaker than that of \((n+ 1)\)-times Peano differentiability. (Caution: In the definition on p. \(293_{8- 6}\) we must require that the function \(s\) is positive. Otherwise Theorem 5 and Corollaries 6 and 7 are not true.) The main result: \((n+ s)\)-times Peano boundedness implies that all Peano derivatives of order \(n\) are Baire\(^*\)1. Thus all Peano derivatives of order \(n\) of an \((n+ 1)\)-times Peano differentiable functions are Baire\(^*\)1.
