Theorem of Bernstein-Doetsh in Baire spaces



Abstract

Theorem of Bernstein and Doetsch is one of the most important in the theory of convex (or convex in the sense of Jensen) functions. In this paper it is shown that the original proof of Bernstein and Doetsch of this theorem can be adapted in a more general situation. Also some parts of the proof may be of interest for themselves.
