Upper bound like $O(log T)$ for the following sum of square root.












1












$begingroup$


I'm wondering if an upper bound in the order of $O(log T)$ can be gotten for this sum:



$sum_{t=1}^{T}sqrt{sum_{j=1}^{d}frac{a_j(t+1)-a_j(t)}{a_j^2(t)}}$,



where $d>0$ is a fixed integer, $a_j(t+1)ge a_j(t)>1$, $sum_j a_j(t+1)-a_j(t)le 1$ and $sum_j a_j(t)le t+d$.

    Random comments: Various constructions all seem to obey the $O(log T)$ bound. WLOG we can take $a_j(1)=1$. The case $d=1$ already seems to contain the essential complexity. Setting $delta(t) = a_1(t+1)-a_1(t) le 1$, we see we want an upper bound for $$frac{sqrt{delta_1}}1 + frac{sqrt{delta_2}}{1+delta_1} + frac{sqrt{delta_3}}{1+delta_1+delta_2} + cdots + frac{sqrt{delta_T}}{1+delta_1+cdots+delta_{T-1}}.$$ Some examination suggests that this function is increasing in each $delta_t$, which would mean that the maximum is given by $a_1(t) = t$ which satisfies $O(log T)$.

    I find for $d = 1$, if $a(t+1)-a(t)=1/T$, $sum_{t=1}^{T}frac{sqrt{1/T}}{a(1)+t/T} ge frac{sqrt{T}}{a(1)+1}$. So essentially this sum is not upper bounded by $O(log T)$.
