Abstract

We provide upper bounds for the Assouad spectrum dimAθ(Gr(f))\dim_A^\theta(\text{Gr}(f)) of the graph of a real-valued H\"older or Sobolev function ff defined on an interval IRI \subset \mathbb{R}. We demonstrate via examples that all of our bounds are sharp. In the setting of H\"older graphs, we further provide a geometric algorithm which takes as input the graph of an α\alpha-H\"older continuous function satisfying a matching lower oscillation condition with exponent α\alpha and returns the graph of a new α\alpha-H\"older continuous function for which the Assouad θ\theta-spectrum realizes the stated upper bound for all θ(0,1)\theta\in (0,1). Examples of functions to which this algorithm applies include the continuous nowhere differentiable functions of Weierstrass and Takagi.
