Box dimensions of Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals of continuous functions of bounded variation (Q965042)

\(C_{[0, 1]}\) is the space of all real-valued continuous functions on the interval \(I=[0, 1]\), \(\Gamma(f, I)\) the graph of an \(f \in C_{[0, 1]}\) and \(BV_{[0, 1]}\) is the space of all real-valued functions of bounded variations on \(I\). For an \(f \in C_{[0, 1]}\) and \( \nu, 0 < \nu <1\), the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral \(D^{-\nu} f(x)\) is: \(D^{-\nu} f(0)=0\) and, for \(0<x \leq 1\), \(D^{-\nu} f(x)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(\nu)} \int_{0}^{x} (x-t)^{\nu -1} f(t)\, dt \). For a bounded set \(F \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}\), denote by \(N_{\delta}(F)\) the smallest number of sets of diameter at most \(\delta\) which can cover \(F\). If the \(\lim_{\delta \to 0} \frac{\log N_{\delta}(F)}{ - \log \delta}\) exists, it is called the box dimension of \(F\) and is written as \(\dim_{B}(F)\). The author proves that: If \(f \in C_{[0, 1]} \cap BV_{[0, 1]} \) then \(\dim_{B}(\Gamma(f, I))=\dim_{B}(\Gamma(D^{-\nu}f, I))= 1\).
