Differential of iterative function












0












$begingroup$


I previously got great help with understanding that



$$C = -Afrac{frac{K1}{f1^2H}+2frac{K1K2}{f1^2f2H^2}+3frac{K1K2K3}{f1^3f3H^3}}{1+frac{K1}{f1^2H}+frac{K1K2}{f1^2f2H^2}+frac{K1K2K3}{f1^3f3H^3}}$$



always had a positive differential in H (differentiation of difficult function with unknown constants)



Now I wonder if we can generalize - the general next entry in the numerator would be



$$ifrac{K1K2...Ki}{f1^ifiH^i}$$ and the next entry in the denominator would be



$$frac{K1K2...Ki}{f1^ifiH^i}$$ - it seems also from actual numeric experimenttion that it is indeed true that the general differential is still positive - but can we prove that?



I should add that all K and f values are positive and H (proton concentration) is also positive. K values are true thermodynamic constants, and f values, activity coefficients are assumed fixed for each value of total buffer concentration (A) as a first approximation.

          This is not a proof.



          Let $H=frac 1x$ and consider the function
          $$f=frac{sum _{i=1}^n i, a_i, x^i}{1+sum _{i=1}^n a_i, x^i}$$ Compute the derivative to get
          $$left(1+sum _{i=1}^n a_i, x^i right)^2, f'=left(sum _{i=1}^n i^2 a_i x^{i-1}right) left(1+sum _{i=1}^n a_i
          x^iright)-left(sum _{i=1}^n i a_i x^{i-1}right)left( sum _{i=1}^n i a_i
          x^iright)$$
          The rhs is then a polynomial of degree $2(n-1)$ that is to say



          $$text{rhs}=sum_{i=0}^{2(n-1)} b_i,x^i$$ in which the coefficients are all positive since all $a_i$'s are non negative. For example, using $n=10$, we should get

          This is not a proof.



          Let $H=frac 1x$ and consider the function
          $$f=frac{sum _{i=1}^n i, a_i, x^i}{1+sum _{i=1}^n a_i, x^i}$$ Compute the derivative to get
          $$left(1+sum _{i=1}^n a_i, x^i right)^2, f'=left(sum _{i=1}^n i^2 a_i x^{i-1}right) left(1+sum _{i=1}^n a_i
          x^iright)-left(sum _{i=1}^n i a_i x^{i-1}right)left( sum _{i=1}^n i a_i
          x^iright)$$
          The rhs is then a polynomial of degree $2(n-1)$ that is to say



          $$text{rhs}=sum_{i=0}^{2(n-1)} b_i,x^i$$ in which the coefficients are all positive since all $a_i$'s are non negative. For example, using $n=10$, we should get
          $$left(
          begin{array}{cc}
          i & b_i \
          0 & a_1 \

            Thanks a lot - but what is then the interpretation in regard tothe question of whether we caan know if thederivativeis positive?

            @user37217. You have sums of only positive terms.
