# Differentiable function with nowhere differentiable derivitive

I was wondering if it there is a function $f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that is differentiable everywhere, but with a derivitive that is nowhere differentiable.

You could integrate the Weierstrass function. –  Dylan Moreland Feb 25 '12 at 6:05

Look up your favorite example of a continuous-but-nowhere differentiable function, then integrate it. By the fundamental theorem of calculus you'll get the original function back when you differentiate.

Yes, there is. Let $g$ be the Weierstrass function, and put $$f(x)=\int_0^x g(t)dt.$$ Then $f$ is everywhere differentiable because it is an integral of a continuous function. But $f'=g$, which is nowhere differentiable.

Oh, right. That's pretty cool. Thanks –  Chris Dugale Feb 25 '12 at 17:15
