A function \(u:[a, b]\to\mathbb{R}\) is called of \(r\)-\(H\)-Hölder type if \(|u(x)- u(y)|\leq H\cdot|x-y|^r\) for all \(x,y\in [a,b]\), where \(H>0\) and \(r\in (0,1]\) are given. Let us suppose that \(f: [a,b]\to \mathbb{R}\) is of bounded variation on \([a,b]\) and \(u\) is as above. Then \[ \Biggl|f(a)(u(b)- u(a))- \int^b_a f(t) du(t)\Biggr|\leq H(b- a)^r \textstyle{\bigvee^b_a}, \] and a similar inequality with \(f(b)\) in place of \(f(a)\). Here \(\bigvee^b_a\) is the total variation of \(f\). Various other inequalities (sometimes more complicated as above) of this type are deduced. An application for the approximation of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral with its partial sums is also given.
