Extract

The study of differential properties of functions of two real variables in the light of the modern theory of functions of real variables was started by H. Rademacher in 1919. Although much work has since been done on the subject, and a great many general results have been obtained, a number of questions have remained open, some of which will be discussed in the present work.

* The reason for this restriction is that Ward's argument is based on the measurability of linear derivates of functions measurable (B) which follows from a general result, concerning functions measurable (B), due to Hausdorff, F. (Mengenlehre (1927), p. 274).Google Scholar

It is not known whether the linear derivates of functions which are merely measurable are measurable.
