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…

We characterize $p-$harmonic functions in the Heisenberg group in terms of an asymptotic mean value property, where $1<p<\infty$, following the scheme described in Manfredi et al. (2009) for the Euclidean case. The new tool that allows us…

Let $f=B_1/B_2$ be a ratio of finite Blaschke products having no critical points on $\partial\mathbb{D}$. Then $f$ has finitely many critical level curves (level curves containing critical points of $f$) in the disk, and the non-critical…
