On Pathwise Uniform Approximation of Processes with Càdlàg Trajectories by Processes with Minimal Total Variation [PDF]
LMS J. Comput. Math. 19 (2016) 281-292, 2011 For a real cadlag function $f$ and positive constant $c$ we find another cadlag function, which has the smallest total variation possible among the functions uniformly approximating f with accuracy c=2. The solution is expressed with the truncated variation, upward truncated variation and downward truncated variation introduced in the papers R.
