New null sets and Frechet differentiability of Lipschitz functions between Banach spaces
There are two important types of differentiability for Lipschitz functions between infinite dimensional Banach spaces.For Gateaux differentiability of such functions there is a satisfactory general existence theorem.However,Gateaux are only weak linear approximations of a function.It is much more desirable to have points of Frechet differentiability.It turns out that it is very hard to prove the existence of such points.One source of the difficulty is to find a proper notion of "almost everywhere" In a joint recent work with David Preiss we introduced a new notion of null sets which enables to prove existence results for points of Frechet differentiability in some important special cases.
