We assume that we have an $\alpha$-Hölder continuous function $f$ on the interval $[0,1]$ with $f(0)=0$. I am wondering if there exists an explicit construction of a sequence $f_{n} \in C_c^{\infty}(\mathbb R)$ such that $$\lVert f-f_n\rVert_{C^{\alpha}([0,1])} \le \frac{1}{n}$$ and $\lvert f_n(x)\rvert \le \lvert f(x)\rvert$ on $[0,1]$. The usual convolution idea does not respect the last condition.
