SUMMARY
The discussion centers on proving the inequality S(f,x+y) ≤ S(f,x) + S(f,y) for a bounded function f: [0,1] → R, where S(f,x) is defined as the supremum of |f(r) - f(s)| for r, s in [0,1] with |r-s| ≤ x. The suggested approach involves selecting specific values r0 and s0 that satisfy the given condition and demonstrating that g(r0,s0) is less than or equal to M. This method is proposed as a viable starting point for the proof.
