| Nov 2, 2012 at 23:59 | comment | added | fedja | Consider $g(bx)/g(b)$ and let $b\to 0+$. Actually, you do not need infinity here: a sufficiently long interval (double exponential in $1/\delta$) will suffice, so taking the limit is not necessary: just take $b$ really small. You didn't really do badly at all. I just was curious why a mathematical proof might suddenly become an urgent matter. :). | |
