Abstract: Let $f H\subset\Bbb R\to\Bbb R$ be $k$ times differentiable in both the usual (iterative) and Peano senses. We investigate when the usual derivatives and the corresponding Peano derivatives are different and the nature of the set where they are different.

Keywords: Peano derivatives, nowhere dense perfect sets, porosity

Classification (MSC2000): 26A24
