Can a function like this be integrated? It definitely has a lower and upper bound on the total area enclosed by the graph.
yes! using the method of lebesgue integration

Depends. Are you talking about this Weierstrass function in particular, or non-differentiable functions in general?
Absolutely. In particular, the Weierstrass function has a trivial antiderivative that follows directly from the antiderivative of the cosine function.
>>7969995
Yes this one specifically, but it'd be cool to know about other continuous but not differentiable functions as well.

>>7969987
well it's bounded from above and below, so it's lebesgue integrable on every bounded set.
not sure about riemann, but who cares

It's also continuous, so it's Riemann integrable. I think OP is mistaking integration for anti-differentiation, causing the question to appear confusing.
>>7970279
there's a difference?
>>7970303
If you just think of Riemann sums, then it's not at all surprising that this is integrable.
