Helper for Lemma 11.7: the number of strict-half-ratio steps among the first m
transitions.
Instances For
Helper for Lemma 11.7: the quadratic recurrence makes the sequence antitone.
Helper for Lemma 11.7: a strict-half-ratio step yields a uniform reciprocal increment.
Helper for Lemma 11.7: every halving step contributes one factor 1 / 2 to the prefix
bound.
Helper for Lemma 11.7: every strict-half-ratio step contributes one reciprocal increment of
size at least 1 / (2γ).
Helper for Lemma 11.7: the logarithmic lower bound on the iteration count forces the
geometric term below ε.
Lemma 11.7 (1): if a nonnegative scalar sequence satisfies
a k - a (k + 1) ≥ (1 / γ) * a (k + 1)^2 for every k and some positive γ, then for every
n ≥ 2 one has
a n ≤ max {((1 / 2)^((n - 1) / 2)) * a 0, 4γ / (n - 1)}.
Lemma 11.7 (2): if ε > 0 and
n ≥ max {(2 / log 2) * (log (a 0) + log (1 / ε)), 4γ / ε} + 1,
then the same recurrence implies a n ≤ ε.
