Moreover we highlight the link between the two classical stratifications of the Borel functions by showing that the Baire class functions of some level are exactly those obtained as uniform limits of sequences of Delta functions (of a corresponding level).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-04-29T10:17:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03E15", "54H05" ], "keywords": [ "characterization", "baire class functions", "particularly simple lipschitz functions", "full functions", "delta functions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0804.4443M" } } }
