| Feb 25, 2019 at 17:29 | comment | added | user114668 | I think an interesting question here is what property i) makes this $f$ (and its square and cube) have discontinuous parts, ii) makes $f$ have also a continuous part, but iii) makes e.g. $f = xyz$ have no point mass (but what seems like a funky distribution)? Edit: Actually I think it is not even clear that these are discontinuities. | |

put lemma up front, since it is an easy introduction to some of the notation, and it reduces the heavy numbering
