Question 2 in Calculus Proof Questions
« on: May 01, 2007, 12:18:25 am »
See here for an introduction. It is a guide as to the prerequisite knowledge that you need, but if you feel comfortable with single variable calculus you should be fine.

The problem here is harder than the problem in the above link.

Suppose satisfies for all

Show that



Rule's Hint: Again the notation may be confusing, so I will explain.  f is continuous in the closed interval from 0,1, and the absolute value of its derivative is less than A in this interval.  We want to show the inequality for all natural numbers n (n = 0, 1, 2, ...)It is unlikely you will find a solution to this problem on the internet.

In approximately two weeks I will post my solution to this problem, if there are no attempts.

Can you post english next to the tex images? Most of the notation you're using is not well-defined.

His notation is standard and the phrase "well-defined" pertains more to definitions (it actually has a strict mathematical meaning but a lot of people use it loosely).

I don't understand though; his hint puts the notation to English.

Yeah, but his hint wasn't posted until ten days before I posted that. And I didn't read it.

Apparently all time-based mathematics that I do come out modulo 1year.

Yoni's gifted, though!  :P
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...
