A remark on functions continuous on all lines. (English) Zbl 1474.26046
Summary: We prove that each linearly continuous function $$f$$ on $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ (i.e., each function continuous on all lines) belongs to the first Baire class, which answers a problem formulated by K. C. Ciesielski and D. Miller [Real Anal. Exch. 41, No. 1, 19–54 (2016; Zbl 1388.26010)]. The same result holds also for $$f$$ on an arbitrary Banach space $$X$$, if $$f$$ has moreover the Baire property. We also prove (extending a known finite-dimensional result) that such $$f$$ on a separable $$X$$ is continuous at all points outside a first category set which is also null in any usual sense.
