A real or complex-valued function f on d-dimensional Euclidean space satisfies a Hölder condition, or is Hölder continuous, when there are nonnegative real constants C, α, such that
| f(x) - f(y) || \leq C |x - y ||^{\alpha}
for all x and y in the domain of f. More generally, the condition can be formulated for functions between any two metric spaces. The number α is called the exponent of the Hölder condition. If α = 1, then the function satisfies a Lipschitz condition
If function is Lipschitz continuous, then it is Holder continuous
and
all Holder continuous function are uniformly continuous.
Thus,
we have the following chain of inclusions for functions over a compact subset of the real line
