Separating Solution of a Quadratic Recurrent Equation

In this paper we consider the recurrent equation

$\Lambda_{p+1}=\frac{1}{p}\sum_{q=1}^pf\bigg(\frac{q}{p+1}\bigg)\Lambda _{q}\Lambda_{p+1-q}$

for p≥1 with f∈C0,1] and Λ₁=y>0 given. We give conditions on f that guarantee the existence of y ⁽⁰⁾ such that the sequence Λ _p with Λ₁=y ⁽⁰⁾ tends to a finite positive limit as p→∞.
