Maximums of almost continuous functions

From MaRDI portal





A classical result due to Sierpiński asserts that an arbitrary real-valued function defined on an interval can be written as the sum of two functions satisfying the intermediate value property (Darboux property). This result is extended in the present paper in the following sense: an arbitrary function \(f:\mathbb R\rightarrow\mathbb R\) can be written as the maximum of two almost continuous functions, provided \(f\) can be written as the maximum of two functions with the intermediate value property. The proof of this interesting results relies on elementary arguments in the theory of real functions.
