Banaś, Józef; El-Sayed, Wagdy Gomaa Remarks concerning Darboux functions. (English) Zbl 0751.26004 Zesz. Nauk. Politech. Rzeszowskiej, Folia Sci. Univ. Tech. Resoviensis 85, Mat. Fiz. 12, Mat. 10, 111-114 (1991). The authors prove that: (1) there are a continuous function \(f:I\to R\) and a Darboux function \(g:I\to R\) such that \(fg\) has not the Darboux property; and (2) if \(f,g:I\to R\) are differentiable functions and \(f'\) or \(g'\) is continuous (\(f\) or \(g\) has no zero in \(I)\) then \(W(f,g)=fg'- f'g\) has the Darboux property.Reviewer’s remarks: The result (2) is an immediate consequence of a theorem of A. M. Bruckner. The result (1) is well known. On page 6 of the cited monograph of A. M. Bruckner [Differentiation of real functions (1978; Zbl 0382.26002)] it is noted that there are a Darboux function \(f:I\to R\) and a continuous function \(g:I\to R\) such that \(f+g\) has not the Darboux property. Consequently, \(e^ f\) has the Darboux property, \(e^ g\) is continuous and \(e^ fe^ g=e^{f+g}\) has not the Darboux property.
