Abstract: We study notions of absolute continuity for functions defined on mathbbRnsimilar to the notion of alpha-absolute continuity in the sense of Bongiorno. We confirm a conjecture of Mal'y that 1-absolutely continuous functions do not need to be differentiable a.e., and we show several other pathological examples of functions in this class. We establish containment relations of the class 1−ACmWDN which consits of all functions in 1−AC which are in the Sobolev space Wloc1,2, are differentiable a.e. and satisfy the Luzin (N) property, with previously studied classes of absolutely continuous functions.


For \(\alpha \in (0,1)\), a real mapping on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is \(\alpha\)-absolutely continuous if for all positive \(\varepsilon\) there is a positive \(\delta\) such that for any finite collection of \(\alpha\)-regular intervals \([a_i,b_i]\) the sum of lengths of these intervals being less than \(\delta\) implies that \(\sum_{i=1}^k|f(a_i - f(b_i)|< \varepsilon\). For \(\alpha =1\), the class of 1-regular intervals coincides with the class of \(n\)-dimensional cubes with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. A conjecture posed by Malý that 1-absolutely continuous functions may not be differentiable is proved together with some other properties of such functions.
