On variations of functions of one real variable
We discuss variations of functions that provide conceptually similar descriptive definitions of the Lebesgue and Denjoy-Perron integrals.

Let be a normed linear space. We investigate properties of vector functions of bounded convexity. In particular, we prove that such functions coincide with the delta-convex mappings admitting a Lipschitz control function, and that convexity is equal to the variation of on . As an application, we give a simple alternative proof of an unpublished result of the first author, containing an estimate of convexity of a composed mapping.
We consider and study several weak formulations of the Hessian determinant, arising by formal integration by parts. Our main concern are their continuity properties. We also compare them with the Hessian measure.
The properties of rare maximal functions (i.e. Hardy-Littlewood maximal functions associated with sparse families of intervals) are investigated. A simple criterion allows one to decide if a given rare maximal function satisfies a converse weak type inequality. The summability properties of rare maximal functions are also considered.
A function f: X → Y between topological spaces is said to be a weakly Gibson function if for any open connected set U ⊆ X. We prove that if X is a locally connected hereditarily Baire space and Y is a T₁-space then an -measurable mapping f: X → Y is weakly Gibson if and only if for any connected set C ⊆ X with dense connected interior the image f(C) is connected. Moreover, we show that each weakly Gibson -measurable mapping f: ℝⁿ → Y, where Y is a T₁-space, has a connected graph.
A simple arc ϕ is said to be a Whitney arc if there exists a non-constant function f such that for every . G. Petruska raised the question whether there exists a simple arc ϕ for which every subarc is a Whitney arc, but for which there is no parametrization satisfying . We answer this question partially, and study the structural properties of possible monotone, strictly monotone and VBG* functions f and associated Whitney arcs.
Classes of functions continuous in various senses, in particular -continuous, -continuous, feeblz continuous a.o., and relations between the classes, are studied.
