On the $L^r$-differentiability of Two Lusin Classes and a Full Descriptive Characterization of the $HK_r$-integral

Abstract

It is proved that any function of a Lusin-type class, the class of $ACG_r$-functions, is differentiable almost everywhere in the sense of a derivative defined in the space~$L^r$, $1\le r<\infty$. This leads to obtaining a full descriptive characterization of a Henstock-Kurzweil-type integral, the $HK_r$-integral, which serves to recover functions from their $L^r$-derivatives. The class $ACG_r$ is compared with the classical Lusin class $ACG$ and it is shown that a continuous $ACG$-function can fail to be $L^r$-differentiable almost everywhere.
