Also called negative increment of a function

One of the two terms whose sum is the complete increment or variation of a function $f$ on a given interval.

Definition Consider an interval $I=[a,b]\subset \mathbb R$ and the collection $\Pi$ of ordered $(N+1)$-ples of points $a_1<a_2 < \ldots < a_{N+1}\in I$, where $N$ is an arbitrary natural number. The negative variation of a function $f: I\to \mathbb R$ is given by \[ TV^- (f) := \sup \left\{ \sum_{i=1}^N \max \{-(f(a_{i+1})-f(a_i)), 0\} : (a_1, \ldots, a_{N+1})\in\Pi\right\}\, . \] See also Positive variation of a function and Variation of a function.
