Topological genericity of nowhere differentiable functions in the disc and polydisc algebras (Q2252081)

The authors show that the class of functions \(f\) in the disc algebra \(A(\mathbb D)\), the real parts \(u=\) Re\(f\) of which, considered on the real line \(\mathbb R\), are nowhere differentiable, their harmonic conjugates \(\widetilde u\), considered on the unit circle \(\mathbb T\), extend continuously to \(\overline{\mathbb D}\) and, considered on \(\mathbb R\), are nowhere differentiable on \(\mathbb R\), is residual, i.e., contains a dense \(G_\delta\) subset of \(A(\mathbb D)\). They show also that the same result holds if ``nowhere differentiable'' is replaced by ``nowhere Hölder''. Similar results are proven for the poly-disc algebra \(A({\mathbb D}^I)\), where \(I\) is a finite or countably infinite set, and their directional derivatives.
