Find a nowhere differentable functions with Hausdorff dimension one

100 Views Asked by At

I wonder that whether there exist a nowhere differentable continuous function with its graph in $\mathbb{R}^2$ has Hausdorff dimension $1$.

A result about Weierstrass's function is that $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}a^{(s-2)k}\cos a^kx$ has Hausdorff dimension $s$, provided $1<s<2$. But I don't know more about the case $s=1$.

The Takagi function (see [1]), rediscovered by Van der Waerden, is nowhere differentiable (see [1] or [2]). The Hausdorff dimension of its graph is 1 (see [3]). More information is in the survey [4].
