Abstract
Starting from Foran's condition A(N) and B(N) (see An extension of the Denjoy integral, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 49 (1975), 359-365), we introduce the more general conditions AC∞ and VB∞.
Note that A(1) is identical with AC (absolute continuity) and B(1) is identical with VB (bounded variation).
We show the following result:
A bounded measurable function F:P → R is AC∞ on the measurable set P if and only if F is VB∞ and satisfy Lusin's condition (N) on P.
This is of course generalization of the classical Banach-Zarecki Theorem (see S. Saks, Theory of the integral, 2nd. rev. ed., vol. PWN, Monografie Matematyczne, Warsaw, 1937):
A continuous function F:[a,b] → R is AC on subset P of [a,b] if and only if it is VB and satisfy Lusin's condition (N) on P.
