$$X=\{f\in C([a,b]): f \text{ is differentiable on } [a,b] \text{ with }f' \text{ bounded }\},$$
and
$$A=\{f\in X: f' \text{ is Riemann integrable}\}. $$

Reference request: A collection of topologies on $\mathbb{N}$ formed via series
First, some quick notation: for any series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ whose terms are positive real numbers, and for any subset $M = \{m_1, m_2,...\} \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we write $\sum_M a_n$ to mean ...

Can two-point sets be Borel?
Recall that a two-point set is a subset of the plane which meets every line in exactly two points. Such a set was first constructed by Mazurkiewicz in 1914.
I wonder if the following question of ...

If $S\subset\mathbb R$ is a $G_\delta$, is there a function $\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ continuous exactly on $S$?
Let $S\subset\mathbb R$ be a $G_\delta$ set. A variation on the construction of the Thomae function (which is discontinuous on the rationals and continuous elsewhere) shows that there is a function $\...
