Abstract: Many classes of functions can be characterized in terms of their associated sets. Maximoff gave another type of characterization for the approximately continuous functions. In this paper, we give the conditions under which the two types of characterizations are equivalent. We then show that many classes of functions defined or characterized in terms of their associated sets also admit Maximoff-type characterizations.
