Rational Points near Monofractal Curves and the Strong Oscillation Principle

Abstract

In their previous work devoted to the distribution of rational points near Brownian motion, the authors conjectured the existence of an \emph{oscillation principle} governing the asymptotic behavior of the number of rational points with bounded denomi\-nators near the graph of a monofractal curve. In this note, a weaker form of this conjecture is shown to hold for a broad class of deterministic fractal curves. These include the classical Takagi and Weierstrass nowhere differentiable functions, and indeed a prevalent (i.e.~"large") class of functions among those which are Hölder continuous with a given exponent of regularity. This constitutes the first instance of deterministic fractal curves for which a precise count of the rational points under consideration is established.
