We know that continuous functions

  • are Riemann integrable and
  • have an antiderivative.

Are there any other (hopefully huge :-) function classes fulfilling both of these properties?

  • By Darboux theorem, any such function has to obey the intermediate value property. I am not certain whether this goes the other way though. A good example is the discontinuous $2x\sin(1/x)-\cos(1/x)$ which has antiderivative $x^2\sin(1/x)$. Both should equal $0$ at $x=0$. – SmileyCraft Oct 17 '18 at 23:07

  • Any such function can't have a jump discontinuity. But I am not sure if a function possesses an anti-derivative if it has discontinuities of oscillatory type. – Paramanand Singh Oct 18 '18 at 12:02
