The authors consider the functions \(T_{n}(x)\) defined as the \(n\)th partial derivative of Lebesgue's singular function \(L_{a}(x)\) with respect to \(a\), at \(a=1/2\). More exactly \[ T_{n}(x):=\frac{1}{n!}\frac{\partial L_{a}(x)}{\partial a^{n}}\biggl|_{a=1/2}, \quad n=1,2,3,\dots \] The main results are: Theorem 1. For each \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), \(T_{n}(x)\) has the following representation: \[ T_n(x)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \omega_k\left(\frac12\right)^{k-n}\;\sum_{i=0}^n (-1)^i\binom{q_k-1}{i}\binom{k-q_k+1}{n-i},\quad 0\leq x\leq 1, \] where \(x=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\omega_{k}2^{-k}\), \(\omega_{k}=\omega_{k}(x)\in \{ 0,1\}\) and \(q_{k}= q_{k}(x)=\sum_{j=1}^{k}\omega_{j}\). Theorem 2. For each \(n\in \mathbb{N}\) there exist positive constants \(C_{n}\) and \(\delta_{n}\) such that if \(0\leq x <x+y\leq 1\) and \(y<\delta_{n}\), then \[ | T_{n}(x+y)-T_{n}(x)| \leq C_{n}y(\log_{2} (1/y))^{n}. \] Theorem 4. For each \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), \(T_{n}\) is continuous but nowhere differentiable.
