Abstract: The purpose of this note is to correct an error in an earlier paper by the author about the level sets of the Takagi function [Monatsh. Math. 167 (2012), 311-331 and arXiv:1102.1616], and to prove a stronger form of one of the main results of that paper about the propensity of level sets containing uncountably many local level sets.

Review text

Let \(T: [0,1]\to\mathbb{R}\) be the Takagi's continuous nowhere differentiable function: \[ T(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2^n}\phi(2^nx), \] where \(\phi(x)\) is the distance from \(x\) to the nearst integer. It is well-known that the range of \(T\) is equal to \([0,2/3]\). For \(y\in\mathbb{R}\) let \(L(y)=T^{-1}(y)=\{ x\in [0,1]: T(x)=y\}\). The author proves that the set \(S^{\mathrm{loc,uc}}_\infty\) of all \(y\in\mathbb{R}\) for which \(L(y)\) contains uncountably many distinct local level sets, is residual in the range of \(T\). This corrects an error and strengthens the main results from an earlier paper by the same author [Monatsh. Math. 167, No. 3--4, 311--331 (2012; Zbl 1256.26002)].
