Porosity and \(\sigma\)-porosity. (English) Zbl 0666.26003

The notion of porous set has been introduced by E. P. Dolzhenko in 1967. One can find similar notions already in some papers by Denjoy and Khintchine. The theory and application of porous, sigma-porous and generalized porous sets has been developed by numerous mathematicians, among them the main rule was played by the present author. It turns out that porous sets appear very frequently in studies of cluster sets and in differentiation theory. The paper under review presents state of art at 1987. The list of references includes 94 positions.
