Baire Characterisation Theorem

Theorem

A real-valued function $f$ defined on a Banach space $X$ is a Baire-$1$ function if and only if:

for every non-empty closed subset $K$ of $X$, the restriction of $f$ to $K$ has a point of continuity relative to the topology of $K$.

This article, or a section of it, needs explaining. In particular: What is Baire-$1$? The linked definition does not have the numeration. You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by explaining it. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page.
