The Cantor function C [2; p. 213], which appears in analysis as a simple example of a continuous increasing function which is not absolutely continuous, has the following properties:

  1. (i) C is defined on [0,1], with C(0) = 0, C (l) = l;

  2. (ii) C is continuous and non-decreasing on [0,1];

  3. (iii) C is constant on each interval contiguous to the perfect Cantor set P;

  4. (iv) C fails to be constant on any open interval containing points of P;

  5. (v) The set of points at which C is non-differentiable is non-denumerable.
