definition

Definition of a superadditive sequence u(m+n)u(m)+u(n)u(m+n) \geq u(m) + u(n)

#Superadditive

Let u:NRu: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R} be a sequence of real numbers. The property `Superadditive` states that for all natural numbers mm and nn, the sequence satisfies the inequality u(m+n)u(m)+u(n)u(m + n) \geq u(m) + u(n).

theorem

If uu is superadditive, then u-u is subadditive

#to_Subadditive

Let u:NRu: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R} be a sequence. If uu is a superadditive sequence, then the sequence defined by nu(n)n \mapsto -u(n) is a subadditive sequence.

definition

Limit of superadditive sequence defined as supn1u(n)n\sup_{n \geq 1} \frac{u(n)}{n}

#lim

Let u:NRu: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R} be a superadditive sequence (satisfying u(m+n)u(m)+u(n)u(m+n) \geq u(m) + u(n) for all m,nNm, n \in \mathbb{N}). The term lim(u)\text{lim}(u) is defined as the supremum of the set of values {u(n)n:n1}\{\frac{u(n)}{n} : n \geq 1\}.

theorem

Fekete's Lemma for Superadditive Sequences: Boundedness Above Implies Convergence of u(n)/nu(n)/n

#tendsto_lim

Let u:NRu: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R} be a superadditive sequence. If the sequence {u(n)/n}nN\{u(n)/n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} is bounded above, then u(n)/nu(n)/n converges as nn \to \infty to its limit, denoted by lim(u)\text{lim}(u).

theorem

The Negation of a Subadditive Sequence is Superadditive

#to_Superadditive

Let u:NRu: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R} be a sequence of real numbers. If uu is subadditive, then the sequence defined by (u)n=un(-u)_n = -u_n is superadditive. That is, for all m,nNm, n \in \mathbb{N}, the inequality um+n(um)+(un)-u_{m+n} \geq (-u_m) + (-u_n) holds.
