Abstract

Let ${\mathcal R}_s$ be the family of open rectangles in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ with a side of angle $s$ to the $x$-axis. We say that a set $S$ of directions is an $R$-set if there exists a function $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^2)$ such that the basis ${\mathcal R}_s$ differentiates the integral of $f$ if $s\not\in S $, and $ \overline D_sf(x)=\limsup_{\mathop{\rm diam}\nolimits(R)\to 0,\, x\in R\in{\mathcal R}_s} |R|^{-1}\int_R f=\infty $ almost everywhere if $s\in S$. If the condition $\overline D_s f(x)=\infty $ holds on a set of positive measure (instead of a.e.) we say that $S$ is a $WR$-set. It is proved that $S $ is an $R$-set (resp. a $WR$-set) if and only if it is a $G_\delta $ (resp. a $G_{\delta\sigma}$).
