Abstract: This paper examines dimension of the graph of the famous Weierstrass non-differentiable function [ W_{lambda, b} (x) = sum_{n=0}^{infty}lambda^ncos(2pi b^n x) ] for an integer

b g e 2

and

1 / b < l a m b d a < 1

. We prove that for every

b

there exists (explicitly given)

l a m b d a_{b} i n (1 / b, 1)

such that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of

W_{l a m b d a, b}

is equal to

D = 2 + f r a c l o g l a m b d a l o g b

for every

l a m b d a i n (l a m b d a_{b}, 1)

. We also show that the dimension is equal to

D

for almost every

l a m b d a

on some larger interval. This partially solves a well-known thirty-year-old conjecture. Furthermore, we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of the function [ f (x) = sum_{n=0}^{infty}lambda^nphi(b^n x) ] for an integer

b g e 2

and

1 / b < l a m b d a < 1

is equal to

D

for a typical

m a t h b b Z

-periodic

C^{3}

function

p h i

.
