The Takagi function: a survey

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper sketches the history of the Takagi function T and surveys known properties of T, including its nowhere-differentiability, modulus of continuity, graphical properties and level sets. Several generalizations of the Takagi function, in as far as they are based on the "tent map", are also discussed. The final section reviews a number of applications of the Takagi function to various areas of mathematics, including number theory, combinatorics and classical real analysis.


This paper is a review article dealing with the Takagi function \(T\), its history, properties, generalizations, and some of its applications to other mathematical fields.NEWLINENEWLINEIn particular, the following points are addressed: {\parindent=6mm\begin{itemize}\item[-] Analytical aspects such as nondifferentiability, Hölder continuity, and modulus of continuity. \item[-] Properties of the graph of \(T\) such as global and local extrema, partial self-similarity, and \(\sigma\)-finite linear measure. \item[-] Different representations of \(T\). \item[-] Functional equations for \(T\). \item[-] Investigation of the level sets of \(T\), some very recent results and open problems. \item[-] Generalizations of \(T\) such as the general Takagi-van der Waerden functions, the Takagi class, and Zygmund spaces. \item[-] Some applications of \(T\) in other mathematical areas.
