    S. J. Taylor has introduced the idea of \(\psi\)-density which is stronger than the usual Lebesgue density function by replacing the entity \(2h\) in the denominator in the definition of Lebesgue density by the entity \(2h.\psi(2h)\) where \(\psi :(0, \infty) \rightarrow (0, \infty)\) is a nondecreasing continuous function with \(\lim_{t \rightarrow 0^+} \psi(t) = 0\). Using this density function, the second author and E. Wagner-Bojakowska introduced the idea of a \(\psi\)-density topology which is defined just as usual density topology [cf. \textit{M. Terepeta} and \textit{E. Wagner-Bojakowska}, Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo, II. Ser. 48, No.~3, 451--476 (1999; Zbl 0963.26003)], taking a \(\psi\) density in place of the usual density, and proved many properties of this topology. Taking the \(\psi\)-density topology \(T_{\psi}\) corresponding to a function \(\psi\), in this paper the authors consider the family of all \(\psi\)-continuous functions, that is the functions from \((\mathbb{R}, T_{\psi})\) to the same space. They primarily show that the family of such functions forms a lattice and is not closed under addition and uniform convergence. They also show that there exists a function \(\psi\) for which linear functions are not \(\psi\)-continuous.
