Singular strictly increasing functions and a problem on partitions of closed intervals (Q2473707)

The author shows an equivalence between the construction of a strictly increasing function and the problem of constructing subsets \(\mathcal{P}\) and \(\mathcal{Q}\) of a closed interval \([a,b]\) such that (1) \(\mathcal{P} \bigcap \mathcal{Q} = \emptyset\); (2) \(\mathcal{P} \bigcup \mathcal{Q} = [a,b]\); (3) the Leabesgue measures of the intersections of \(\mathcal{P}\) and \(\mathcal{Q}\) with an arbitrary interval \(J \subset [a,b]\) are positive.
