[Solution Library] Let f be defined on an interval I. Suppose that there exists M>0 and α>0 such that |f(x)-f(y)| ≤q M|x-y|^alpha for all x, y ∈ I.


Question: Let \(f\) be defined on an interval \(I\). Suppose that there exists \(M>0\) and \(\alpha>0\) such that

\[|f(x)-f(y)| \leq M|x-y|^{\alpha}\]

for all \(x, y \in I\). (Such a function is said to satisfy a Lipschitz condition of order \(\alpha\) on \(I\).)

  1. Prove that \(f\) is uniformly continuous on \(I\).
  2. If \(\alpha>1\), prove that \(f\) is constant on \(I\). (Hint: First show that \(f\) is differentiable on \(I\).)
  3. Show by an example that if \(\alpha=1\), then \(f\) is not necessarily differentiable on \(I\).
  4. Prove that if \(g\) is differentiable on an interval \(I\), and if \(g^{\prime}\) is bounded on \(I\), then \(g\) satisfies a Lipschitz condition of order 1 on \(I\).
