TIFR Mathematics 2023 | Part B | Question: 1
Answer whether the following statements are True or False. Let $\alpha$ be a positive real number, and let $f:(0,1) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function such that $|f(x)-f(y)| \leq$ $|x-y|^{\alpha}$ for all $x, y \in(0,1)$. Then $f$ can be extended to a continuous function $[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$.
