The continuity set of a function is the set of points where it is continuous. For a real function f, define its oscillation at x by
ωf​(x)=infr>0​sup{∣f(y)−f(z)∣:y,z∈(x−r,x+r)}.
(1)
The sets {x:ωf​(x)<ε} are open, and f is continuous at x exactly when ωf​(x)=0. Hence its continuity set is the Gδ​ Borel set
⋂n=1∞​{x:ωf​(x)<1/n}.
