Convergence of subadditive sequences

A subadditive sequence u : ℕ → ℝ is a sequence satisfying u (m + n) ≤ u m + u n for all m, n. We define this notion as Subadditive u, and prove in Subadditive.tendsto_lim that, if u n / n is bounded below, then it converges to a limit (that we denote by Subadditive.lim for convenience). This result is known as Fekete's lemma in the literature.

def Subadditive (u : ℕ → ℝ) : Prop

A real-valued sequence is subadditive if it satisfies the inequality u (m + n) ≤ u m + u n for all m, n.

Equations

• Subadditive u = ∀ (m n : ℕ), u (m + n) ≤ u m + u n

def Subadditive.lim {u : ℕ → ℝ} (_h : Subadditive u) : ℝ

The limit of a bounded-below subadditive sequence. The fact that the sequence indeed tends to this limit is given in Subadditive.tendsto_lim

Equations

• Subadditive.lim _h = sInf ((fun (n : ℕ) => u n / ↑n) '' Set.Ici 1)
