Elementary Bounds On The Coefficients
In order to keep the whole discussion within elementary methods, one may derive the asymptotics (5) proving the inequality
with
as follows. By the inequality of arithmetic and geometric means
Using the expansion
the latter arithmetic mean writes
To estimate its kth power we then use the inequality
that holds true for any real number r as soon as 1 + r/k ≥ 0. Moreover, we have elementary bounds for the sums:
Thus,
with
proving the claim.

Famous quotes containing the words elementary and/or bounds:
“As if paralyzed by the national fear of ideas, the democratic distrust of whatever strikes beneath the prevailing platitudes, it evades all resolute and honest dealing with what, after all, must be every healthy literatures elementary materials.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Great Wits are sure to Madness near allid
And thin Partitions do their Bounds divide;
Else, why should he, with Wealth and Honour blest,
Refuse his Age the needful hours of Rest?”
—John Dryden (16311700)
