(8) should be:
n n
1 -2(x - 1) 2 x - 1 2 1 1/2
---- > ---------- + ------- ( (--------) + --- ) (8)
n n n 2 n n n n 4
z (y - x ) (y - x ) y - x
This has also the form:
n n n 2 n n 2 (1/2)
z < 2 ((x -1) + ((x -1) + (1/4)( y - x ) ) ) (8')
Could any of you say where the error in the following reasonig ?:
-----------------------------------------
Combining (8') and (7) we have also
n 2 n n 2 (1/2) 1 n n
((x -1) + (1/4)( y - x ) ) > ( ------ ) - (x -1)
1/n
2 -1
From
n n 1 2n n 1 n (1/2)
y - x > 2( ( ------- ) - 2( x - 1) ( ----- ) )
1/n 1/n
2 -1 2 -1
This also means
n 1 n
x < (1/2)( ------ ) + 1
= 1/n
2 -1
This last inequality and the result of prof. Inkeri
(finnish mathematician), which states that
3n-4
x > n ; for n > 3
=
(limitations?)
We have achieved the following impossible inequality
3n-4 1 n (1/n)
n < x < ((1/2)( ------ ) + 1)
= 1/n
2 -1
because left side of the the inequality grows always faster than right
side of the inequality, when n is greater than 2.
