The classification of generalized Riemann derivatives

Abstract

We characterize all pairs $(\mathcal{A}$,$\mathcal{B})$ of generalized Riemann differences for which $\mathcal{A}$-differentiability implies $\mathcal{B}$-differentiability. Two generalized Riemann derivatives $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are equivalent if a function has a derivative in the sense of $\mathcal{A}$ at a real number $x$ if and only if it has a derivative in the sense of $\mathcal{B}$ at $x$. We determine the equivalence classes for this equivalence relation.
