Limits of a parametric equation












1












$begingroup$


I have the following equation which states that $σ$ is an explicit function of $k$:$$σ=frac b{1-cleft(1+left(fracβαk^A-Bright)^{-1}right)},$$
where $A=dfrac{b+c-1}{b}, ;B=dfrac{c}{b+c-1},;;dfracβα$ is a constant and the value of $σ$ has to be positive.



The author found that:




  • If $b+c>1$, the value of $sigma$ declines with increased $k$ and approaches $dfrac{b}{1-c}$ which is greater than $1$ as $k$ increases without limit.

  • If $b+c<1$, the value of $sigma$ increases from $dfrac{b}{1-c}$ which is less than $1$, to $1$ as $k$ increases from $0$ to infinity.


How can I derive these results mathematically?



Further I have tried to simulate the function. While I can replicate the result when $b+c<1$ with the function that tends to the limit $dfrac{b}{1-c}$, I see strange behaviors not corresponding to the result described above when $b+c>1$. So, are there any restrictions so that the values of $b$ and $c$ whose sum is greater than one produce a decreasing function and tending to the $dfrac{b}{1-c}$ limit which this time should be greater than $1$?



Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who wants to help me :)

          It is not given, though I assume $b,c>0.$




          • If $;b+c>1;$ then $A=frac{b+c-1}{b}>0,$ and consequently $k^A;$ increases, $;k^A to infty;$ as $;kto infty.$

            Then $left(fracβαk^A-Bright)^{-1};$ decreases to $0$ and finally $sigma;$ decreases to $$lim_{ktoinfty}frac b{1-cleft(1+left(fracβαk^A-Bright)^{-1}right)}=frac{b}{1-ccdot (1+0)}=frac{b}{1-c}$$


          • If $;b+c<1;$ then $A=frac{b+c-1}{b}<0,$ and $k^A;$ decreases to $0$ as $;kto infty.$

            Note that $limlimits_{kto 0^{+}}k^A=infty.$

            Further, $left(fracβαk^A-Bright)=left(fracβαk^A+frac{c}{1-(b+c)}right);$ decreases to $frac{c}{1-(b+c)};$ from where we conclude that $left(fracβαk^A-Bright)^{-1};$ increases to $;frac{1-(b+c)}{c}.$

            Put together, $sigma$ increases from the value$$lim_{kto 0^{+}}sigma(k)=lim_{kto 0^{+}}frac b{1-cleft(1+left(fracβαk^A-Bright)^{-1}right)}=frac{b}{1-cleft(1+0right)}=frac{b}{1-c}$$
            to
            $$lim_{ktoinfty}sigma(k)=lim_{ktoinfty}frac b{1-cleft(1+left(fracβαk^A-Bright)^{-1}right)}=frac{b}{1-cleft(1+frac{1-(b+c)}{c}right)}=1.$$

            Indeed yep: $alpha = (1-delta )gamma ^{-rho }$ and $beta= delta gamma ^{-rho }$. Where $rho = frac{1}{b}-1$ and $0<delta<1$. But since in my case $gamma =1$ always their ratio should always be constant. Thank u so much for u help! :)

            Thank you for your answer! :) If I try to give some numerical values to the function on Excel for the second case no problem, but when b+c are greater than 1, the block $k^{A}-B$ has a strange behaviour and assume negative values. I attach a pictures of the two cases here below: drive.google.com/open?id=11HPJcunadtpBUzmjFDCrbpGldMPW3BEL

            Is there any relation between $alpha, beta$ and other constants?

            Indeed yep: $alpha = (1-delta )gamma ^{-rho }$ and $beta= delta gamma ^{-rho }$. Where $rho = frac{1}{b}-1$ and $0<delta<1$. But since in my case $gamma =1$ always their ratio should always be constant. Thank u so much for u help! :)

          An IMO inspired problem

          Image
          14 4 This problem from IMO 1988 is said to be one of the most elegant ones in functional equations. Problem : The function $f$ is defined on the set of all positive integers as follows: begin{align} f(1) = 1, f(3) &= 3, f(2n) = f(n), \ f(4n+1) &= 2f(2n+1) - f(n), \ f(4n+3) &= 3 f(2n+1) - 2f(n) end{align} Find the number of $n$ with $f(n) = n, 1 leq n leq 1988$. The main idea towards the solution is realizing that these conditions stand for the fact that $f(n)$ just reverses the digits in the binary representation of the number $n$. So, essentially the solution is finding the number of binary pallindromes $leq 1988_{10}$. My question is the following : How to reformulate the problem so that $f(n)$ reverses the digits of $n$ in its ternary representation. Or even better, can we reformulate it for a
