The continuity of additive and convex functions which are upper bounded on non-flat continua in R^n

Abstract: We prove that for a continuum

K s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

the sum

K^{+ n}

of

n

copies of

K

has non-empty interior in

m a t h b b R^{n}

if and only if

K

is not flat in the sense that the affine hull of

K

coincides with

m a t h b b R^{n}

. Moreover, if

K

is locally connected and each non-empty open subset of

K

in not flat, then for any (analytic) non-meager subset

A s u b s e t K

the sum

A^{+ n}

of

n

copies of

A

is not meager in

m a t h b b R^{n}

(and then the sum

A^{+ 2 n}

of

2 n

copies of the analytic set

A

has non-empty interior in

m a t h b b R^{n}

and the set

(A - A)^{+ n}

is a neighborhood of zero in

m a t h b b R^{n}

). This implies that a mid-convex function

f : D o m a t h b b R

, defined on an open convex subset

D s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

is continuous if it is upper bounded on some non-flat continuum in

D

or on a non-meager analytic subset of a locally connected nowhere flat subset of

D

.
