Abstract
The Minkowski question-mark function is a continuous strictly increasing function defined on interval. It is well known fact that the derivative of this function, if exists, can take only two values: and . It is also known that the value of the derivative at the point is connected with the limit behavior of the arithmetic mean . Particularly, N. Moshchevitin and A. Dushistova showed that if , where , then . They also proved that the constant is non-improvable. We consider a dual problem: how small can be the quantity if ? We obtain the non-improvable estimates of this quantity.
