A function f defined on a closed interval [a, b] is said to be of bounded variation if there exists a positive number M such that for every partition P = {x₀, x₁, ..., xₙ} of [a, b], the sum of the absolute variations ∑|f(x_k) - f(x_{k-1})| from k=1 to n is less than or equal to M; importantly, if a function is monotonic on [a, b], it is guaranteed to be of bounded variation on that interval because the sum of variations simplifies to f(b) - f(a), which is finite.
