%0 Journal Article %T Generalized Riemann derivative %A Sorin Radulescu %A Petrus Alexandrescu %A Diana-Olimpia Alexandrescu %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2013 %I Texas State University %X Initiated by Marshall Ash in 1966, the study of generalized Riemann derivative draw significant attention of the mathematical community and numerous studies where carried out since then. One of the major areas that benefits from these developments is the numerical analysis, as the use of generalized Riemann derivatives leads to solving a wider class of problems that are not solvable with the classical tools. This article studies the generalized Riemann derivative and its properties and establishes relationships between Riemann generalized derivative and the classical one. The existence of classical derivative implies the existence of the Riemann generalized derivative, and we study conditions necessary for the generalized Riemann derivative to imply the existence of the classical derivative. Furthermore, we provide conditions on the generalized Riemann derivative that are sufficient for the existence of the classical derivative. %K Riemann generalized derivative %K symmetric derivative %K Schwarz derivative %K (sigma %K tau) differentiable function %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2013/74/abstr.html
