Abstract

Throughout this chapter we suppose that f is a function which is measurable and finite. We begin by generalizing the concept of the density of a set (see Chapter 2) in a manner similar to the generalization of derivatives in the last chapter. We then introduce the concept of approximate derivatives and prove that the approximate derivatives of a measurable function are measurable. Analogous to the Denjoy-Saks-Young Theorem for Dini derivatives, we establish a complete characterization of the approximate derivatives of a function. Baire category results are given in Section 4.4. We then conclude the chapter with a collection of results on other properties of approximate derivatives, notably the Darboux property and the mean value property. Thus, this chapter is a generalization of the standard results on derivatives.
