Existence of a continuous function nowhere differentiable along every unit speed curve
Existence of a continuous function nowhere differentiable along every unit speed curve
A unit speed curve is a curve parametrized by arclength, and a curve has a continuous first derivative. Existence conjecture. There is a continuous function
whose restriction to any unit speed curve is nowhere differentiable. The main theorem establishes the analogous result when the curves also have regularity for some ; removing this extra smoothness assumption is a natural open question.
