If $|f(p+q)-f(q)|leq p/q$ for rational $p$ and $q$ (with $qneq 0$), then $sum_{i=0}^k |f(2^k) -f(2^i)| leq...












1















If $left|f(p+q) - f(q)right|leq p/q$ for all rational $p$ and $q$, with $q neq 0$, then prove that
$$sum_{i=0}^k left|fleft(2^kright) -fleft(2^iright)right| leq frac12 k(k-1)$$




My try:



I consider the sum for $i=r $ which gives the inequality from given property of function $$ left |fleft(2^kright) -fleft(2^iright)right| leq 2^{k-i} - 1$$, and then summed it, but it doesn't work.

By triangle inequality



$|f(2^k)-f(2^j)| leq |f(2^k)-f(2^{k-1})|+...|f(2^{j+1})-f(2^j)|leq k-j$



Hence $sum_{i=0}^{i=k}{|f(2^k)-f(2^i)|} leq sum_{i=0}^{i=k}{k-i} leq 0.5(k)(k+1)$



Still not as good as $0.5(k)(k-1)$
