Abstract: Let $$ be the power set of $$. An upper density (on $$) is a non-decreasing and subadditive function $$ such that $$ and $m{u}^{a}st(kcdotX+h)=frac1km{u}^{a}st(X)$ for all $$ and $$, where $kcdotX+h:=kx+h:xinX$. The upper asymptotic, upper Banach, upper logarithmic, upper Buck, upper P'olya, and upper analytic densities are examples of upper densities. We show that every upper density $m{u}^{a}st$ has the strong Darboux property, and so does the associated lower density, where a function $$ is said to have the strong Darboux property if, whenever $$ and $ain[f(X),f(Y)]$, there is a set $A$ such that $XsubseteqAsubseteqY$ and $f(A)=a$. In fact, we prove the above under the assumption that the monotonicity of $m{u}^{a}st$ is relaxed to the weaker condition that $m{u}^{a}st(X)le1$ for every $$.
