open problems regarding functions

147 Views Asked by At

I am looking for some open problems regarding functions. Problems like,

Whether a function satisfying some properties say, X,Y,Z, exists or not, is unknown.

Like there is no function $f(x)$ such that $f'(x)=h(x)$ where $h(x)=0$ if $x<0$ and $h(x)=1$ if $x\geq 0$.

Or if $J=\mathbb{R} \setminus \mathbb{Q}$ denote the set of irrational numbers. There is no continuous map $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(\mathbb{Q}) \subseteq J$ and $f(J) \subseteq \mathbb{Q}$.

What are some interesting properties for which researchers are looking to find mappings that satisfies them.
