Abstract
Takagi function is a well-known continuous but nowhere differentiable function defined over real numbers. The Takagi function maps rational numbers to themselves. In this note, by applying Euler’s theorem, we give a simple proof of this property for Takagi-like functions, a slight generalization of the Takagi function.
