An elementary proof for the dimension of the graph of the classical Weierstrass function

Let $W_{λ,b}(x)=\sum_{n=0}^\inftyλ^n g(b^n x)$ where $b\geqslant2$ is an integer and $g(u)=\cos(2πu)$ (classical Weierstrass function). Building on work by Ledrappier (1992), Baránsky, Bárány and Romanowska (2013) and Tsujii (2001), we provide an elementary proof that the Hausdorff dimension of $W_{λ,b}$ equals $2+\frac{\logλ}{\log b}$ for all $λ\in(λ_b,1)$ with a suitable $λ_b<1$. This reproduces results by Baránsky, Bárány and Romanowska without using the dimension theory for hyperbolic measures of Ledrappier and Young (1985,1988), which is replaced by a simple telescoping argument together with a recursive multi-scale estimate.
