Properties of Hadamard Directional Derivatives: Denjoy-Young-Saks Theorem for Functions on Banach Spaces

Luděk Zajíček

The classical Denjoy-Young-Saks theorem on Dini derivatives of arbitrary functions

f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} f : R → R
was extended by U.S. Haslam-Jones (1932) and A.J. Ward (1935) to arbitrary functions on
\mathbb{R}^2 R 2
. This extension gives the strongest relation among upper and lower Hadamard directional derivatives
f^+_H (x,v) f H + ( x , v )
,
f^-_H (x,v) f H − ( x , v )
(
v \in X v ∈ X
) which holds almost everywhere for an arbitrary function
f:\mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R} f : R 2 → R
. Our main result extends the theorem of Haslam-Jones and Ward to functions on separable Banach spaces.
