Abstract:
We show that the Denjoy rank and the Zalcwasser rank are incomparable. We construct for any countable ordinal differentiable functions and such that the Zalcwasser rank and the Kechris-Woodin rank of are but the Denjoy rank of is 2 and the Denjoy rank and the Kechris-Woodin rank of are but the Zalcwasser rank of is 1. We then derive a theorem that shows the surprising behavior of the Denjoy rank, the Kechris-Woodin rank and the Zalcwasser rank.
