Let R be the set of real numbers, and let S1 denote the class of all real valued functions f on R which are smooth to the first order (i.e. the derivative ƒ(1) exists and is continuous) and have compact support. The first order variation off on an open set U is given by and in the case where U = R we have the total first order variation of f, usually denoted by I1(f).
