In the former setting of the Schramm–Loewner evolution SLE, Hölder continuity of the conformal maps is shown by estimating the derivatives, whereas the latter setting uses the theory of quasiconformal maps. In this note, we adopt the former method to the deterministic setting and obtain a new and elementary proof that Hölder-1/2 driving functions with norm less than 4 generate simple arcs. We also give a sufficient condition for driving functions to generate curves that are graphs of Lipschitz functions.NSF, DMS-1068105, Loewner Evolutions and Random Map
