    The present paper deals with Takagi functions \(T_{a,b}\). It is noted that originally the Takagi function was referred to as \(T_{\frac 1 2,2}\). One can begin with author's abstract: ``In this paper, we study some properties of Takagi functions and their level sets. We show that for Takagi functions \(T_{a,b}\) with parameters \(a, b\) such that \(ab\) is a root of a Littlewood polynomial, there exist large level sets. As a consequence, we show that for some parameters \(a, b\), the Assouad dimension of graphs of \(T_{a,b}\) is strictly larger than their upper box dimension. In particular, we can find weak tangents of those graphs with large Hausdorff dimension, larger than the upper box dimension of the graphs.'' In this paper, the main attention is given to: -- the Assouad dimension of the graphs of some Takagi functions (functions \(T_{a,b}\) for which \(a,b\) are positive numbers and the product \(ab>1\) is a root of a Littlewood polynomial of degree \(k-1\)). -- the Hausdorff dimension of the level set \[ L(y)=\{x\in [0,1]: T_{a,b}(x)=y\}\times \{y\} \] of Takagi functions \(T_{a,b}\) for which \(a,b\) are positive numbers and the product \(ab\ge 1\) is a root of a Littlewood polynomial of degree \((k-1)\). Auxiliary notions and known results are considered. Several auxiliary results are proved and several questions related to the topic of this paper are posed.
