Résumé

This paper studies one class of real functions, which we call Takagi power functions. Such functions have one positive real parameter; they are continuous, but nowhere differentiable, and are given on a real line using functional series. These series are similar to the series defining the continuous, nowhere differentiable Takagi function described in 1903. For each parameter value, we derive a functional equation for functions related to Takagi power functions. Then, using this equation, we obtain an accurate two-sides estimate for the functions under study. Next, we prove that for parameter values not exceeding 1, Takagi power functions satisfy the Hölder logarithmic condition, and find the smallest value of the constant in this condition. As a result, we get the usual Hölder condition, which follows from the logarithmic Hölder condition. Moreover, for parameter values ranging from 0 to 1, we investigate the behavior of Takagi power functions in the neighborhood of their global maximum points. Then we show that the functions under study reach a strict local minimum on the real axis at binary-rational points, and only at them. Finally, we describe the set of points at which our functions reach a strict local maximum. The benefit of our research lies in the development of methods applicable to continuous functions that cannot be differentiated anywhere. This can significantly expand the set of functions being studied.
