On a class of strongly contractive quadratic recurrent systems

We consider a class of nonlinear recurrent systems of the form \( {\Lambda_p} = \frac{1}{p}\sum\limits_{{p_1} = 1}^{p - 1} {f\left( {\frac{{{p_1}}}{p}} \right){\Lambda_{{p_1}}}{\Lambda_{p - {p_1}}}} \), p > 1, where f is a given function on the interval 0, 1] and Λ₁ = x is an adjustable real-valued parameter. Under some suitable assumptions on the function f, we show that there exists an initial value x ^* for which Λ _p = Λ _p (x ^* ) → const as p → ∞. More precise asymptotics of Λ _p is also derived.
