Review text

Let \(C\) be the family of all continuous non-decreasing functions defined on the positive half-line and such that \(\lim_{x\to 0^+}\psi(x)= 0\). We say that a point \(x\) is a \(\psi\)-density point of a measurable set \(A\in R\) if and only if \(\lim_{h\to 0^+} {m(A^c\cap[x- h,x+ h])\over 2h\cdot\psi(2h)}= 0\). This kind of density, stronger than the ordinary density, was considered by \textit{S. J. Taylor} [Fundam. Math. 46, 305--315 (1959; Zbl 0086.04601)]. The paper under review is an expository one and presents a series of results obtained by E. Wagner-Bojakowska and others. They have constructed so-called \(\psi\)-density topology for \(\psi\in C\), in a way similar to that used in the construction of the classical density topology of Goffman, Neugebauer and Nishiura. There are presented some basic properties of a particular \(\psi\)-density topology as well as numerous results concerning the whole class of \(\psi\)-density topologies for \(\psi\in C\). The classes of \(\psi\)-approximately continuous functions are also investigated. It should be observed, however, that the Lusin-Menchoff theorem, which holds also for \(\psi\)-density, does not imply that a \(\psi\)-density topology is completely regular, since the formula for the interior in this topology is much more complicated than in the case of the classical density topology.
