The scalar simultaneous induction in Section 6 #
The two diagonal inequalities imply, simultaneously, lower bounds for the limiting row slopes and for the diagonal profile. All profile properties needed for this argument are expressed as hypotheses below.
One step of the Section 6 simultaneous induction, with a positive real index. The proof uses the diagonal increment inequality to obtain the second conclusion as well as the first.
The natural-number form of the scalar induction step, indexed by n + 1
so that no truncated subtraction occurs in the recurrence.
The simultaneous slope and diagonal estimates, conditional only on the
initial values, the recurrence for G, and the two diagonal inequalities.
A zero-indexed version of growthRecurrence_induction, convenient when the
initial term of the comparison sequence is stored at index zero.
The simultaneous bounds for the explicit comparison product from Section 6.
Combining the scalar induction with the elementary product estimate gives an exact fourth-power lower bound on the cube of each diagonal value.
The diagonal fourth-power lower bound using the paper's positive indices.
