SCHWEITZER 1980 Problem 6

    Let us call a continuous function f:[a,b]→R2  reduciblef : [a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2 \;\textit{reducible} if it has a double arc (that is, if there are a≤α<β≤γ<δ≤ba \leq \alpha < \beta \leq \gamma < \delta \leq b such that there exists a strictly monotone and continuous h:[α,β]→[γ,δ]h : [\alpha,\beta] \rightarrow [\gamma,\delta] for which f(t)=f(h(t))f(t)=f(h(t)) is satisfied for every α≤t≤β\alpha \leq t \leq \beta ); otherwise ff is irreducible. Construct irreducible f:[a,b]→R2f : [a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2 and g:[c,d]→R2g : [c,d] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2 such that f([a,b])=g([c,d])f([a,b])=g([c,d]) and

    (a) both ff and gg are rectifiable but their lengths are different;

    (b) ff is rectifiable but gg is not.
