Abstract:Abstract. We prove that the solution of the cyclic initial value problem u 1 k " 1{2´u k {pu k`1`uk`2 q pk P Z{nZq, up0q " x is convergent to an equilibrium µpxqp1, . . . , 1q, and study the properties of the function x Þ Ñ µpxq and its relation to Shapiro's inequality.
IntroductionIn 1954 H. S. Shapiro [6] raised the question of provingfor all n P Nzt1, 2u and all x 1 , . . . , x n ą 0. Meanwhile, after the investigations of numerous authors, (1) is known to be false in general for even n ≥ 14 and all n ≥ 25… Show more
