Fact
f has at most countably many points of discontinuity.
fl (x) := limy%x f (y) is left-continuous, of bounded variation and
f (x) = fl (x) on all points of continuity.
f and fl induce the same linear functional on C([0, 1]).
Let xi be a dense set of points of continuity of f . Represent f by
h(x1 , f (x1 )), (x2 , f (x2 )), . . . i
f can be recovered by left-continuous extension.
Successfully applied to give computable interpretation of Jordan
decomposition etc. (Weihrauch et. al.)

The space BV
Want: A space BV with
L1 BV W 1,1 ,
and variation-norm
kf kBV = kf kL1 + V (f ).
Problem
Such a space exists, but it is non-separable.
The family 1[0,x] with x R is of the size of the continuum and
has mutual distance 2.
Representation of non-separable spaces. (Brattka)
A point x is represented by
sequence converging to x (not necessarily at a given rate), and
norm v = kxk, or a bounded v > kxk.
We will use a hybrid approach.
The space BV
The function f BV is represent by hv, p1 , p2 , . . . i where
hp1 , p2 , . . . i represent a function in L1 ,
v Q, and
kp0i k1 < v.
(This implies V (pi ) v.)
We will call v the bounded of variation of f .
Clear: L1 BV W 1,1
Theorem
For each f : [0, 1] R of bounded variation the
L1 -equivalence class of f is in BV .
Proof sketch
Approximated
a function of bounded variation f with
mollifications of f without increasing the
variation.
The space BV

hp1 , p2 , . . . i represent a function in L1 ,
v Q, and

We will call v the bounded of variation of f .

Theorem
For each f : [0, 1] R of bounded variation the
L1 -equivalence class of f is in BV .
Theorem
For each f BV the equivalence class contains a function of bounded
variation.

Theorem
HST W BWTR .
Over RCA0 , HST is instance-wise equivalent to the
Bolzano-Weierstra principle.
Analysis of Bolzano-Weierstra principle in the Weihrauch lattice (Brattka,
Gherardi, Marcone 12) and (K. 11) for instances of Bolzano-Weierstra
gives the following full classification of HST.
Corollary
HST W WKL0
Over RCA0 , HST is instance-wise equivalent to WKL for 01 -trees.
