Abstract

We consider Weierstraß and Takagi–van der Waerden functions with critical degree of roughness. In this case, the functions have vanishing pth variation for all p>1 but are also nowhere differentiable and hence not of bounded variation either. We resolve this apparent puzzle by showing that these functions have finite, nonzero, and linear Wiener–Young Φ-variation along the sequence of b-adic partitions, where Φ(x)=x∕−logx. For the Weierstraß functions, our proof is based on the martingale central limit theorem (CLT). For the Takagi–van der Waerden functions, we use the CLT for Markov chains if a certain parameter b is odd, and the standard CLT for b even.
