Constructing solutions for a given series to make it convergent












0












$begingroup$


I would like to find a function f such that $$y_i=f(i) geq 0$$ such that:



$$sum_{i=0}^n y_i = C(1-frac{3p}{4})^{n(1-frac{3p}{4})}(frac{3p}{4})^{n(frac{3p}{4})},$$



where $$C > 0, 0 leq p leq 1,$$ and



$$sum_{w=0}^nsum_{k=0}^nsum_{i=0}^n (-frac{1}{3})^kbinom{n-i}{w-k}binom{i}{k}3^{i}y_i$$ converges to a constant as $$nrightarrow infty.$$



Do you have any ideas? First of all, suggestions how to decompose the first sum would be useful.



Thanks.

    What is $C$? If it is a constant independent on $n$ then for $C=1$ then $y_i=y_i(1)$ are determined uniquely, so we have only to check the convergence of the sum. For any other $C$ $y_i=y_i(C)=C(y_i(1))$, which doesn’t change the convergence of the sum.

    Thanks for your comment. $C$ is a constant independent of $n$. However, I am not sure if I understand your notation. By $y_i=f(i)$ I mean that $y$'s are generated by some function of $i$. What do you mean by $y_i(1)$?

    By $y_i(1)$ I mean the (uniquely determined) value of $y_i$ when $C$ is $1$.

    I see, yeah. My problem is to actually find which function may work here. I put $C$ to remember that I can scale without changing the convergence.

    If $p=0$ we encounter undefined expression $0^0$, but if $p>0$ then the function $f$ is defined uniquely by $y_0=C$ and $y_i=C(1-frac{3p}{4})^{i(1-frac{3p}{4})}(frac{3p}{4})^{i(frac{3p}{4})}- C(1-frac{3p}{4})^{(i-1)(1-frac{3p}{4})}(frac{3p}{4})^{(i-1)(frac{3p}{4})}$ for $i>1$.
