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…

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 $U$ be an open set in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A continuous function $f\colon U \to \mathbb{R}$ is strongly nowhere differentiable if and only if for each $\gamma\in(0,1]$ and for each unit speed $C^{1,\gamma}$ curve $c\colon [a,b] \to U$, the…

One of the classical results concerning differentiability of continuous functions states that the set $\mathcal{SD}$ of somewhere differentiable functions (i.e., functions which are differentiable at some point) is Haar-null in the space…

We consider distributions on $\mathbb{R}$ that can be written as the sum of a non-zero discrete distribution and an absolutely continuous distribution. We show that such a distribution is quasi-infinitely divisible if and only if its…

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…

For any integer $b\geq2$ and real series $\{c_n\}$ such that $\sum_{n=0}^\infty|c_n|<\infty$, the generalized Takagi function $f_{{\mathbf c},b}(x)$ is defined by $$ f_{{\mathbf c},b}(x):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n\phi(b^n x), \quad x\in [0,1],…

We construct an algebra of dimension $2^{\aleph_0}$ consisting only of functions which in no point possess a finite one-sided derivative. We further show that some well known nowhere differentiable functions generate algebras, which contain…

The counting function on binary values is extended to the signed case in order to count the number of transitions between contiguous locations. A generalized subdifferential for the sign change counting function is given where classical…

We apply the topology of convergence on compact sets to define unpredictable functions [5, 6]. The topology is metrizable and easy for applications with integral operators. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, the existence and…

Using a modification of a generalized Takagi-van der Waerden function on a metric space we prove that for any closed subset of a metric space without isolated points there exists a continuous function such that its big and local Lipschitz…

For an arbitrary infinite-dimensional Banach space $\X$, we construct examples of strongly-measurable $\X$-valued Pettis integrable functions whose indefinite Pettis integrals are nowhere weakly differentiable; thus, for these functions the…

Ultrafunctions are a particular class of functions defined on a non-Archimedean field. They provide generalized solutions to functional equations which do not have any solutions among the real functions or the distributions. In this paper…

The Takagi-van der Waerden functions are a well-known class of continuous but nowhere differentiable functions. In this paper, we study their weighted versions, the Takagi-van der Waerden class functions $f_{r,a}(x)$, from a probabilistic…

This paper is devoted to the proof Gauss' divergence theorem in the framework of "ultrafunctions". They are a new kind of generalized functions, which have been introduced recently [2] and developed in [4], [5] and [6]. Their peculiarity is…

A remarkable discrete counterpart of the Gaussian function of one continuous variable can be defined by using a Jacobi theta function, that is, as the sum of a convergent series. We extend this approach to Gaussian functions of two…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a class P of continuous and periodic functions on R. The class P is defined so that second-order central differences of a function satisfy some concavity-type estimate. Although this definition…

Ultrafunctions are a particular class of functions defined on a hyperreal field $\mathbb{R}^{\ast}\supset\mathbb{R}$. They have been introduced and studied in some previous works. In this paper we introduce a particular space of…

The main contribution of this paper is that every convex function with non-empty relative algebraic interior of its domain is Lipschitz and subdifferentiable in some algebraic sense without any additional topological constraints. The…

Examples exist of extended-real-valued closed functions on ${\bf R}^n$ whose subdifferentials (in the standard, limiting sense) have large graphs. By contrast, if such a function is semi-algebraic, then its subdifferential graph must have…
