Similar result to a property of power series by P. Erdos et al

39 Views Asked by At

The following theorem is from "A property of power series with positive coefficients" by P. Erdos et al.

Let $p_k$ be a sequence of nonnegative numbers for which $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}p_k=1$ and let $m=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}kp_k\le\infty$. If $P(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}p_kx^{k}$ is not a power series in $x^t$ for any integer $t>1$, then the series $$ U(x)=\frac{1}{1-P(x)}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}u_kx^{k} $$ has the property $\lim_{n\to\infty}u_n=1/m$.

Actually, the theorem could be used to study the limit of a sequence $u_n$ with $u_0=1$, $u_n+\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}u_jp_{n-j}=1$.

I was wondering if there is a similar result that could be used to study the limit behaviour if $u_n$ satisfies the following condition:

$u_0=1$, $b_{k,0}=1$ for each $k\ge0$ and $\sum_{j=0}^{k}u_{j}b_{j,k-j}=1$ where each $0<b_{j,k-j}<1$. Any hint, reference or suggestion would be of great help. Thank you very much.
