Abstract

top
We investigate several natural questions on the differentiability of certain strictly increasing singular functions. Furthermore, motivated by the observation that for each famous singular function f investigated in the past, f’(ξ) = 0 if f’(ξ) exists and is finite, we show how, for example, an increasing real function g can be constructed so that g ' ( x ) = 2 x for all rational numbers x and g’(x) = 0 for almost all irrational numbers x.
