Let $\mathbb R$ be the set of real numbers and $f: \mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R$ be such that for all $x$ and $y$ in $\mathbb{R}$, $$|f(x)-f(y) |\leq |x-y|^3.$$ Prove that $f(x)$ is a constant.
This is a new type of problem for me and I feel I am missing some trick to simplify the given expression. Any help??
