Extract

Let f be a real-valued function of two real variables. It is well known(5) that the Lebesgue measurability or even upper semicontinuity of all the sections fx and fy does not imply the measurability of f. Lipiński proved (3) that there exists a non-measurable function f such that each section fx and fy is Baire one, has the Darboux property, and fails to be approximately continuous at no more than one point. Davies (1) noted that the continuum hypothesis implies the existence of a non-measurable function f, such that each fy is measurable and each fx approximately continuous. Ursell (6) proved that if each fy is measurable and each fx continuous (or monotonic), then f is measurable.
