Abstract This paper examines dimension of the graph of the famous Weierstrass non-differentiable function W λ , b ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ λ n cos ⁡ ( 2 π b n x ) for an integer b ≥ 2 and 1 / b λ 1 . We prove that for every b there exists (explicitly given) λ b ∈ ( 1 / b , 1 ) such that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of W λ , b is equal to D = 2 + log ⁡ λ log ⁡ b for every λ ∈ ( λ b , 1 ) . We also show that the dimension is equal to D for almost every λ on some larger interval. This partially solves a well-known thirty-year-old conjecture. Furthermore, we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of the function f ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ λ n ϕ ( b n x ) for an integer b ≥ 2 and 1 / b λ 1 is equal to D for a typical Z -periodic C 3 function ϕ.
