Weierstrass function  is a fuction that is continuous at all  points but differentiable at none.  It is a real valued function.    f(x)=Σ_(n=0) ^∞ a^n cos(b^n πx)  0<a<1  b∈O^+     odd positive  ab>1+(3/2)π  (∴b>7)    Search wikipedia for more!!!

theorem:  if a function is diferrentiable, then its  contonuous  conjecture:  if a function is cotinuous, then its diferentiable  the first is true and the second is false  in other way diferrentiability impy  continuity, but continuity dont imply  diferenciability  the function you give is just a example  on R of that fact

In the question I asked for an example of  differential equation for which no solution  exists. So the example could be  (dy/dx) =f(x) where ∫f(x)dx does not exist  for any set A⊂R.

I′m not sure there are any?    What about:  (dy/dx)=x^x^x^(...)     y=∫x^x^x^(...)   dx  ???

If  we draw a curve with a pencil  by hand it may not have an equation  yet it may have area under it within  specified values of x.

f:[0,1]→R given by  f(x)= { (1,(x∈Q)),(x,(x∉Q)) :}  if you plot f, it must be two line since  Q and I are denses into R, this function  is not riemann integrable, however its  lesbegue integrable (if im dont wrong  I was a 0 lesbegue measure, so the integral  may return 1 over [0,1])

$${f}:\left[\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1}\right]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\:\mathrm{given}\:\mathrm{by} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\begin{cases}{\mathrm{1}}&{{x}\in\mathbb{Q}}\\{{x}}&{{x}\notin\mathbb{Q}}\end{cases} \\ $$$$\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{plot}\:{f},\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{must}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{two}\:\mathrm{line}\:\mathrm{since} \\ $$$$\mathbb{Q}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathbb{I}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{denses}\:\mathrm{into}\:\mathbb{R},\:\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{function} \\ $$$$\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{riemann}\:\mathrm{integrable},\:\mathrm{however}\:\mathrm{its} \\ $$$$\mathrm{lesbegue}\:\mathrm{integrable}\:\left(\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{im}\:\mathrm{dont}\:\mathrm{wrong}\right. \\ $$$$\mathbb{I}\:\mathrm{was}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{lesbegue}\:\mathrm{measure},\:\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{integral} \\ $$$$\left.\mathrm{may}\:\mathrm{return}\:\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{over}\:\left[\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1}\right]\right) \\ $$
