Review text

Denoting by \(f\) the well-known Riemann function defined on the interval \((0,1)\), i.e., \(f(x)=0\) if \(x\) is irrational and \(f(x)=1/n\) if \(x=m/n, (m,n)=1\), the author shows that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of the points where \(f^{p}\) is not differentiable equals \(2/p\) for \(p>2\). The case of symmetric second derivative of \(f^{p}\) is also studied. The related function \(g(x)=2^{-n}\) if \(x=m/2^{n}\) (\(m\) odd) and \(g(x)=0\) otherwise, is shown to have similar properties and ``corresponds to a Cantor-type function.
