### On Extendable Derivations

Tomasz Natkaniec

#### Abstract

There are derivations $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ which are almost continuous in the sense of Stallings but not extendable. Every derivation $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ can be expressed as the sum of two extendable derivations, as the discrete limit of a sequence of extendable derivations and as the limit of a transfinite sequence of extendable derivations. Analogous results hold for additive functions.
