Abstract
We find tight upper and lower bounds on the growth rate for the covering numbers of functions of bounded variation in the L1 metric in terms of all the relevant constants. We also find upper and lower bounds on covering numbers for general function classes over the family of L1(dP) metrics in terms of a scale-sensitive combinatorial dimension of the function class
