Karamata-type sums for regularly varying sequences #
Source lines 1141–1148 and 1173–1179 (inventory B12): for a monotone sequence a, positive at
n ≥ 1, regularly varying of index ρ:
RegularlyVaryingSeq.karamata_tail(ρ > 0):∑_{m < q ≤ N} 1 / (q a_q) ≤ C / a_mfor all1 ≤ mand allN, with one constantC;RegularlyVaryingSeq.summable_inv_mulandRegularlyVaryingSeq.karamata_tail_tsumgive summability and the bound for the full tail∑_{q > m}(atsumof an indicator).RegularlyVaryingSeq.karamata_sum(0 ≤ ρ < 1):∑_{h=1}^{n} 1 / a_h ≤ C n / a_nfor alln.
The source invokes "Karamata's theorem". Here the bounds follow from the global Potter bounds
(RegularlyVaryingSeq.exists_potter_global) by comparison with the power sums
∑_{q > m} q^{-1-s} ≤ m^{-s}/s and ∑_{h ≤ n} h^{-s} ≤ n^{1-s}/(1-s), which are proved by
telescoping.
Termwise comparison behind the Karamata tail bound: with s = ρ/2, there is C > 0 with
1 / (q a_q) ≤ (C m^s / a_m) q^(-s-1) for all 1 ≤ m ≤ q.
Karamata tail bound (source lines 1141–1148): for ρ > 0 there is C > 0 such that
for all m ≥ 1 and all N, ∑_{m < q ≤ N} 1 / (q a_q) ≤ C / a_m.
Karamata tail bound, full-tail form: for ρ > 0 there is C > 0 such that for all
m ≥ 1, ∑_{q > m} 1 / (q a_q) ≤ C / a_m (the series being summable, see
summable_inv_mul).
Karamata partial-sum bound (source lines 1173–1179): for 0 ≤ ρ < 1 there is C > 0
such that for all n, ∑_{h=1}^{n} 1 / a_h ≤ C n / a_n.
