The Takagi function \tau : [0, 1] \to [0, 1] is a continuous non-differentiable function constructed by Takagi in 1903. The level sets L(y) = {x : \tau(x) = y} of the Takagi function \tau(x) are studied by introducing a notion of local…
Let T be Takagi's continuous but nowhere-differentiable function. This paper considers the size of the level sets of T both from a probabilistic point of view and from the perspective of Baire category. We first give more elementary proofs…
This paper examines level sets of two families of continuous, nowhere differentiable functions (one a subfamily of the other) defined in terms of the "tent map". The well-known Takagi function is a special case. Sharp upper bounds are given…
This paper examines level sets of functions of the form $f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{r_n}{2^n}\phi(2^n x)$, where phi(x) is the distance from x to the nearest integer, and r_n equals 1 or -1 for each n. Such functions are referred to as…
Let T be Takagi's continuous but nowhere-differentiable function. It is known that almost all level sets (with respect to Lebesgue measure on the range of T) are finite. We show that the most common cardinality of the level sets of T is…
The Takagi function is a continuous non-differentiable function on [0,1] introduced by Teiji Takagi in 1903. It has since appeared in a surprising number of different mathematical contexts, including mathematical analysis, probability…
This paper examines the level sets of the continuous but nowhere differentiable functions \begin{equation*} f_r(x)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty r^{-n}\phi(r^n x), \end{equation*} where $\phi(x)$ is the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer, and $r$…
This paper sketches the history of the Takagi function T and surveys known properties of T, including its nowhere-differentiability, modulus of continuity, graphical properties and level sets. Several generalizations of the Takagi function,…
In this paper we characterize the set of points where the lateral derivatives of the Takagi-Van der Waerden functions are infinite. We also prove that the set of points with infinite derivative has Hausdorff dimension one and Lebesgue…
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 $v\in (-1;1)$ and at points $x\in{\mathbb R}$ are defined by…
In this paper, we investigate the Takagi-van der Waerden function, $$ T_r(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{\phi(r^n x)}{r^n} ,\quad x\in [0,1], \quad r \in \mathbb{Z}^+, $$ where $\phi(x)={\rm dist}(x,\mathbb{Z})$ represents the distance from…
In this paper we study some properties of Takagi functions and their level sets. We show that for Takagi functions $T_{a,b}$ with parameters $a,b$ such that $ab$ is a root of a Littlewood polynomial, there exist large level sets. As a…
We consider a one-parameter family of functions $\{F(t,x)\}_{t}$ on $[0,1]$ and partial derivatives $\partial_{t}^{k} F(t, x)$ with respect to the parameter $t$. Each function of the class is defined by a certain pair of two square matrices…
In this paper we give a detailed measure theoretical analysis of what we call sum-level sets for regular continued fraction expansions. The first main result is to settle a recent conjecture of Fiala and Kleban, which asserts that the…
The Takagi function is a classical example of a continuous nowhere differentiable function. It has empty subdifferential except in a countable set where its subdifferential is $\mathbb{R}$. In this paper we characterize its…
In this paper, we investigate the dimension theory of the one parameter family of Okamoto's function. We compute the Hausdorff, box-counting and Assouad dimensions of the graph for a typical choice of parameter. Furthermore, we study the…
In a series of papers, M.Talagrand, the second author and others investigated at length the properties and structure of pointwise compact sets of measurable functions. A number of problems, interesting in themselves and important for the…
The Takagi function $T:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ is a classical example of a continuous nowhere differentiable function. In this paper, we study the discrete dynamical system generated by the Takagi function. First, we prove that for almost…
For $\lambda\in(0,1/2]$ let $K_\lambda \subset\mathbb{R}$ be a self-similar set generated by the iterated function system $\{\lambda x, \lambda x+1-\lambda\}$. Given $x\in(0,1/2)$, let $\Lambda(x)$ be the set of $\lambda\in(0,1/2]$ such…
We consider a generalized Takagi function for beta-expansions with the base $1<\beta\leq2$, motivated by multifractal analysis for digit frequency sets of beta-expansions [20]. We show that it is pointwise $\alpha$-H\"older continuous for…
