Some properties of differentiable p-adic functions

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, using the tools from the lineability theory, we distinguish certain subsets of p-adic differentiable functions. Specifically, we show that the following sets of functions are large enough to contain an infinite dimensional algebraic structure: (i) continuously differentiable but not strictly differentiable functions, (ii) strictly differentiable functions of order r but not strictly differentiable of order $$r+1$$ r + 1 , (iii) strictly differentiable functions with zero derivative that are not Lipschitzian of any order $$\alpha >1$$ α > 1 , (iv) differentiable functions with unbounded derivative, and (v) continuous functions that are differentiable on a full set with respect to the Haar measure but not differentiable on its complement having cardinality the continuum.
