The paper studies properties of functions (from \(\mathbb R\) to \(\mathbb R\)) having the Cantor intermediate value property (CIVP), i.e., functions for which the following condition is satisfied: For every \(x, y \in \mathbb R\) and for each Cantor set \(K\) between \(f(x)\) and \(f(y)\), there is a Cantor set \(C\) between \(x\) and \(y\) such that \(f(C) \subset K\). It is proved that every function (from \(\mathbb R\) to \(\mathbb R\)) can be expressed as a sum or product of two functions with CIVP. Also the maximal additive and multiplicative classes for the family CIVP are described. Further it is proved that every function (from \(\mathbb R\) to \(\mathbb R\)) is a pointwise limit of a sequence of CIVP functions and also that every function is a limit of a transfinite sequence of CIVP functions.
