Abstract

In this paper we introduce a class of functions contained in the disc algebra A(D)\mathcal{A}(D). We study functions fA(D)f \in \mathcal{A}(D), which have the property that the continuous periodic function u=RefTu = Ref|_{\mathbb{T}}, where T\mathbb{T} is the unit circle, is nowhere differentiable. We prove that this class is non-empty and instead, generically, every function fA(D)f \in \mathcal{A}(D) has the above property. Afterwards, we strengthen this result by proving that, generically, for every function fA(D)f \in \mathcal{A}(D), both continuous periodic functions u=RefTu=Ref|_\mathbb{T} and u~=ImfT\tilde{u} = Imf|_\mathbb{T} are nowhere differentiable. We avoid any use of the Weierstrass function and we mainly use Baire's Category Theorem.
