The Gaussian vs. MZ derivatives conjecture

Let DAD_{\mathcal{A}} be an nn-th generalized Riemann differentiation at a point xx. An MZ differentiation is one for which, for every function ff that is n1n-1 times Peano differentiable at xx, ff is nn times Peano differentiable at xx if and only if ff is A\mathcal{A}-differentiable at xx. An nn-th Gaussian differentiation is the nn-th generalized Riemann differentiation whose nodes are either 0,1,q,q2,,qn10,1,q,q^2,\ldots,q^{n-1} or 1,q,q2,,qn1,q,q^2,\ldots,q^n, where q0,±1q\neq 0,\pm1. The Gaussian vs. MZ derivatives conjecture. Each MZ differentiation is a Gaussian differentiation. This conjecture was proved for n=1,2n=1,2 and remains open for n3n\geq3; the paper under consideration presents counterexamples to it.
