superadditivity


A sequence {an}n=1 is called superadditive ifit satisfies the inequalityMathworldPlanetmath

an+man+am  for all n and m.(1)

The major reason for use of superadditive sequences is the followinglemma due to Fekete.

Lemma ([1]).

For every superadditive sequence {an}n=1 the limitliman/n exists and is equal to supan/n.

Similarly, a function f(x) is superadditive if

f(x+y)f(x)+f(y)  for all x and y.

The analogue of Fekete lemma holds for superadditive functions aswell.

There are extensionsPlanetmathPlanetmath of Fekete lemma that do not require (1) to hold for all m and n. There are also results that allow one to deduce the rate of convergence to the limit whose existence is stated in Fekete lemma if some kind of both super- and subadditivity is present. A good exposition of this topic may be found in [2].
