Let $\mathbb{R}=(-\infty,\infty)$, and let $Q\in C^1(\mathbb{R}): \mathbb{R}\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ be an even function. We consider the exponential weights $w(x)=e^{-Q(x)}$, $x\in \mathbb{R}$. In this paper we obtain a pointwise convergence…

The Weierstrass function is a classic example of a continuous nowhere differentiable function, defined as a sum of high-frequency complex exponentials. In this paper, we follow a suggestion of M.V. Berry and study the convergence properties…
