Fabius function

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the Fabius function is an example of an infinitely differentiable function that is nowhere analytic, found by Fabius (1966).

The Fabius function is defined on the unit interval, and is given by the probability distribution of

$\sum _{{n=1}}^{\infty }2^{{-n}}\xi _{n},$

where the ξ_n are independent uniformly distributed random variables on the unit interval.
