Abstract: The present article is devoted to some examples of functions whose arguments represented in terms of certain series of the Cantor type.


In the paper under review, the author studies properties of two different functions related to alternating Cantor series. The first function takes a number with an alternating Cantor series expansion and maps it to the alternating \(q\)-ary expansion, i.e., \[ x = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n \varepsilon_n}{q_1 q_2 \cdots q_n}\mapsto f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\varepsilon_n}{(-q)^n}. \] The second function takes numbers from the fractal set of numbers which admit an expansion of the form \[ x = - \frac{u}{q+1} + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\alpha_n - u}{(-q)^{\alpha_1 + \alpha_2 + \cdots + \alpha_n}},\] with \(u \in \{0,1,\dots, q-1\}\) and the coefficients \(\alpha_n \in \{0,1,\dots, q-1\}\setminus \{u\}\). These numbers have alternating \(q\)-ary expansions with long blocks consisting only of the digit \(u\). These are mapped to \[ h(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\alpha_n}{(-q)^n}. \] For these functions, a number of irregularty properties are derived.
