Abstract

The family of functions, we investigate in this article, was originally introduced by A.Denjoy and later rediscovered by R Tichy and J. Uitz. We denote the functions of the family by gλ(x),g_{\lambda}(x), where λ(0,1)\lambda\in(0,1). The definition will be given in the following section. The most famous function of the family is the Minkiowski question-mark function. As we would see, it corresponds to λ=12\lambda=\frac12. All functions of the family are continuous, strictly increasing and map the segment [0,1][0,1] onto itself. Moreover, they are singular i.e. λ\forall \lambda the derivative gλ(x),g'_{\lambda}(x), if exists, can take only two values: 0 and +.+\infty. In this paper we consider two functions of the class which correspond to λ\lambda equals 512\frac{\sqrt5-1}2 or 1512.1-\frac{\sqrt5-1}2. The aim of this paper is to prove some theorems about essential conditions on x such that if the condition holds then the derivative gλ(x)g'_{\lambda}(x) exists and has determined value. The constants used in our theorems are non-improvable. Our paper is wirtten in Russian. However Introduction and the formulation of main results are written in English.
