Baire one star function

In mathematics, a function $f:\mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R}$ is a Baire one star function, written $f\in \mathbf {B} _{1}^{*}$, if, for each perfect set $P\in \mathbb {R}$, there is an open interval $I\in \mathbb {R}$ such that $P\cap I$ is nonempty and the restriction $f\,\mid _{P\cap I}$ is continuous. The concept itself (under a different name) goes back at least to 1951, where it is labelled as [CG] (for generalized continuity).
