On a nonlinear recurrent relation (Q1024223): Difference between revisions

The author considers the following nonlinear recurrent relation which arises from the study of complex blow-ups of the \(3D\) Navier Stokes system [see \textit{D. Li} and \textit{Ya. G. Sinai}, J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 10, No. 2, 267--313 (2008; Zbl 1151.35073)]: \[ \Lambda_p(x)=p^{-1}{\sum}_{p_1+p_2=p, \, p_1,p_2\geq 1}f(\gamma)\Lambda_{p_1}(x)\Lambda_{p_2}(x), \;\gamma = p^{-1}p_1, \, p>1, \] where \(\Lambda_1=x\in \mathbb{R}\) is a parameter, and \(f:[0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) has integral \(1\). In the cited paper \(f(\gamma)=6\gamma^2 -10\gamma +4\). The aim of this paper is to show that for a general class of functions \(f\) (including the special case just mentioned before) there exists \(R(x)\) such that \(\Lambda_p(x) = R(x)^p(1+\delta_p)\), with \(\delta_p\rightarrow 0\) as \(p\rightarrow \infty\). Since obviously \(\Lambda_p(\lambda x) = \lambda^p\Lambda_p(x)\), it suffices to prove that there exists some \(x^*\) such that \(\Lambda_p(x^*) = 1 + \delta_p\) with \(\delta_p\rightarrow 0\) as \(p\rightarrow \infty\). Then \(\Lambda_p(x)\) is indeed of the form the author is looking for, with \(R(x)=x/x^*\). Some stability theorems are also shown concerning a related class of linear recurrent relations.
