Abstract

The functions of the Takagi exponential class are similar in construction to the continuous, nowhere differentiable Takagi function described in 1901. They have one real parameter v(1;1)v\in (-1;1) and at points xRx\in{\mathbb R} are defined by the series Tv(x)=n=0vnT0(2nx)T_v(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty v^n T_0(2^nx), where T0(x)T_0(x) is the distance between xx and the nearest integer point. If v=1/2v=1/2 then TvT_v coincides with Takagi's function. In this paper, for different values of the parameter vv, we study the global extremes of the functions TvT_v, as well as the sets of extreme points. All functions of TvT_v have a period of 11, so they are investigated only on the segment [0;1][0;1]. This study is based on the properties of consistent and anti-consistent polynomials and series, which the first half of the work is devoted to.
