Abstract: For $0<alpha<1$ let $V(alpha)$ denote the supremum of the numbers $v$ such that every $alpha$-H"older continuous function is of bounded variation on a set of Hausdorff dimension $v$. Kahane and Katznelson (2009) proved the estimate $1/2leqV(alpha)leq1/(2-alpha)$ and asked whether the upper bound is sharp. We show that in fact $V(alpha)=max1/2,alpha$. Let $di{m}_H$ and $overline{dim}_M$ denote the Hausdorff and upper Minkowski dimension, respectively. The upper bound on $V(alpha)$ is a consequence of the following theorem. Let $B(t):tin[0,1]$ be a fractional Brownian motion of Hurst index $alpha$. Then, almost surely, there exists no set $Asubset[0,1]$ such that $overline{dim}_{M}A>max1-alpha,alpha$ and $BcolonAomathbbR$ is of bounded variation. Furthermore, almost surely, there exists no set $Asubset[0,1]$ such that $overline{dim}_{M}A>1-alpha$ and $BcolonAomathbbR$ is $$-H"older continuous for some $$. The zero set and the set of record times of $B$ witness that the above theorems give the optimal dimensions. We also prove similar restriction theorems for deterministic self-affine functions and generic $alpha$-H"older continuous functions. Finally, let $mathbfB(t):tin[0,1]$ be a two-dimensional Brownian motion. We prove that, almost surely, there is a compact set $Dsubset[0,1]$ such that $di{m}_{H}Dgeq1/3$ and $mathbfBcolonDomathbb{R}^2$ is non-decreasing in each coordinate. It remains open whether $1/3$ is best possible.
