Review text

Let \(K(x)\) denote the distance between \(x\) and the nearest integer. The Knopp's example: \(\sum^\infty_{n= 0} a^n K(b^n x)\) for \(0< a< 1\), \(b\in \mathbb{N}\) and \(ab> 4\) is a continuous nondifferentiable function at any point \(x\). \textit{A. Baouche} and \textit{S. Dubuc} proved [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 182, No. 1, 134-142 (1994; Zbl 0799.26006)] that for \(ab> 1\) and any sequence \(c_n\) the function \(f(x)= \sum^\infty_{n= 0} a^n K(b^n x+ c_n)\) has no right (left) derivative at any point \(x\). The author examines the case when \(ab= 1\); in particular for \(b\geq 10\) (\(b\) not necessarily an integer) he shows that \(f\) has no right (left) derivative at any point.
