I am working with an argument involving an inequality of the form:
$$ f(n + 1) leq f(n) + C (f(n))^1 - frac1gamma (ast)$$
where $f$ is a positive function, $gamma > 0$ and $C > 0$. It is know (but no proved explicitly) that $(ast)$ leads to the bound
$$ f(n) leq n^gamma ( forall n > n_0 ) (ast ast)$$ for a certain $n_0$ to be choosen. My question is: How to prove $(ast ast)$, being that we have $(ast)$. My failed attemp was to use a telescopic sum
to obtain $f(n + ell) - f(n) leq C sum_k = 0 ^ ell - 1(f(n + k))^1 - frac1gamma$ but, this no leads to $(ast ast)$ straight.

          If you think about the case $f(n)=n^gamma$ you get
          $$(n+1)^gammaleq n^gamma+Cn^gamma-1$$
          Or equivalently
          beginalignlabel1
          (n+1)^gamma- n^gammaleq Cn^gamma-1
          endalign

          Now, $(n+1)^gamma- n^gammaleq gamma (n+1)^gamma-1$ (if $gamma>1$).
          So, the inequality above will be satisfied for $n$ big enough if $C>gamma$.



          This is what makes me think that if $f(n)=n^gamma+hboxsmall error$, will satisfy the recursive inequality if $C>gamma$. And therefore the inequality $f(n)leq n^gamma$ wouldn't be true.
          Maybe what you want is $f(n)ll n^gamma$ or $f(n)ll n^gamma+epsilon$ because that seems the case.
