Continuous families of Hölder functions that are not of bounded variation (Q558252)

A construction of a two-parameter family of Hölder functions of unbounded variation is presented in the paper. Namely, for any real numbers \( \alpha \) and \( \xi \) fulfilling \( 0 < \alpha < 1 \) and \( 0 < \xi \leq 1/(2 \zeta (1/\alpha)) \), the author constructs a Lipschitz function \( \tau : [0,1] \to [1 - \xi , 1] \) such that the mapping \( f : [0,1] \to [0,1] \), given by the formula \( f(x) = ((1 - \tau (x))/{\xi})^{\alpha} \), satisfies the inequality \( | f(x) - f(y) | \leq {\xi}^{-\alpha} {| x - y |}^{\alpha} \) for all \( x,y \in [0,1] \), and \(f\) is of unbounded variation.
