Exercise on Sobolev Spaces: Show that this function belong to $W^{1,infty}$
$begingroup$
Let $u in C^0(I)$ be a bounded function on the open interval $I=(a,b)
subset mathbb R$. Suppose that there exists a partition $a=t_0 lt
t_1 lt dots lt t_n=b$ such that:
- $f in C^1((t_i,t_{i+1}))$
- $f' in L^{infty}((t_i,t_{i+1}))$
for every $i=0,dots,n-1$. Show that $fin W^{1,infty}$
MY ATTEMPT:
It suffices to show that there exists a constant $Cgt 0$ such that $vert u(x)-u(y)vert le C vert x-yvert$ for a.e $x,y in I$. However I have only managed to prove that $u$ satisfies a Lipschitz condition in every subinterval $(t_i,t_{i+1})$ since:
if $t_i lt x lt y lt t_{i+1}$, then $vert u(x)-u(y) vert le int_{t_i}^{t_{i+1}} vert u'(x) vert le {vert vert u vert vert}_{L^{infty}}((t_i,t_{i+1})) vert x-y vert$
I believe that somehow I should take the sum over $i$ in order to pass to the whole $I$ but I don't see how. Moreover I haven't used that $u$ is also bounded and I 'm wondering what I miss here.
Any help or hint is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You have already proved the Lipschitz estimate inside a single interval $(t_i, t_{i+1})$. To complete the proof of Lipschitz condition on $I$ it is enough to show that
$$
tag{1} |u(x) - u(t)| leq C |x - t|, text{ for all } x in [t_i, t_{i+1}] text{ and } t in {t_i, t_{i+1}}.
$$
Indeed, once we have $(1)$, then the Lipschitz estimate propagates across intervals, as for any $xin (t_i, t_{i+1})$ and any $yin (t_{i+1}, t_{i+2})$ we get
$$
|u(x) - u(y)| leq |u(x) - u(t_{i+1})| + |u(t_{i+1}) - u(y)| leq C (|x - t_{i+1}| + |t_{i+1} - y|) = C |x - y|,
$$
and similarly, if $x$ and $y$ are not necessarily in neighboring intervals.
To prove $(1)$ for the endpoint $t = t_i$, take $z in (t_i, t_{i+1}) $ and write
$$
tag{2} |u(x) - u(t_i)| leq |u(x) - u(z)| + |u(z) - u(t_i)| leq C |x - z| + |u(z) - u(t_i)|,
$$
where we used the already proved Lipschitz estimate in $(t_i, t_{i+1})$. Notice that
the constant $C$ in $(2)$ does not depend on $z$ (it can be taken to be $||u'||_{L^infty(t_i, t_{i+1})}$ as you showed above), hence we may pass to the limit in $(2)$ with respect to $z$ when $zto t_i$. Taking into account the continuity of $u$ at $t_i$ we get
$$
|u(x) - u(t_i)| leq C |x - t_i|,
$$
which is what was required to prove.
