Abstract: Let $x=[0;a_1,a_2,\mathrm{...}]$ be the decomposition of the irrational number $xin[0,1]$ into regular continued fraction. Then for the derivative of the Minkowski function $?(x)$ we prove that ${?}^{\prime }(x)=+infty$ provided $limsu{p}_{toinfty}frac{a}_1+\mathrm{...}+a_{t}t<kapp{a}_1=frac2loglambd{a}_{1}log2=1.388^{+}$, and ${?}^{\prime }(x)=0$ provided $limin{f}_{toinfty}frac{a}_1+\mathrm{...}+a_{t}t>kapp{a}_2=frac4L_5-5L_4{L}_5-L_4=4.401^{+}$ (here $L_j=log(fracj+sqrt{j}^2+42)-jcdotfraclog22$). Constants $kapp{a}_1,kapp{a}_2$ are the best possible. Also we prove that ${?}^{\prime }(x)=+infty$ holds for all $x$ with partial quotients bounded by 4.
