This expository paper focuses on the study of extreme surjective functions in ℝℝ. We present several different types of extreme surjectivity by providing examples and crucial properties. These examples help us to establish a hierarchy within the different classes of surjectivity we deal with. The classes presented here are: everywhere surjective functions, strongly everywhere surjective functions, κ-everywhere surjective functions, perfectly everywhere surjective functions and Jones functions. The...

Every separable infinite-dimensional superreflexive Banach space admits an equivalent norm which is Fréchet differentiable only on an Aronszajn null set.

We revisit Sklar’s Theorem and give another proof, primarily based on the use of right quantile functions. To this end we slightly generalise the distributional transform approach of Rüschendorf and facilitate some new results including a rigorous characterisation of an almost surely existing “left-invertibility” of distribution functions.

We present an example of an o-minimal structure which does not admit $C^{\infty }$ cellular decomposition. To this end, we construct a function $H$ whose germ at the origin admits a $C^k$ representative for each integer $k$, but no $C^{\infty }$ representative. A number theoretic condition on the coefficients of the Taylor series of $H$ then insures the quasianalyticity of some differential algebras ${𝒜}_n\left(H\right)$ induced by $H$. The o-minimality of the structure generated by $H$ is deduced from this quasianalyticity property.

En dimension 1 on analyse la fonction irrégulière $r\left(x\right)={\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }{n}^{-p}sin\left(n^{p}x\right)$ (p entier ≥ 2) en un point $x_0$ de dérivabilité (π est un tel point) et on démontre que le terme d’erreur est un chirp de classe (1 + 1/(2p-2), 1/(p-1), (p-1)/p). La fonction r(x) est dans l’espace 2-microlocal $C_{x_0}^{s,s^{\text{'}}}$ si et seulement si s+s’ ≤ 1 - 1/p et ps+s’≤ p - 1/2. En dimension 2, on obtient en (π,π) l’existence d’un plan tangent pour la surface $z={\sum }_{m,n=1}^{\infty }{(m^2+n^2)}^{-\gamma }sin(m^{2}x+n^{2}y)$ dès que γ>1.
