It looks so, nobody knows yet why.

but approaching an integral from -oo to + oo with a few integer points of dummy variables ?
...
is f(i) , f(2i) , f(3i) , ... a good choice or do you mean suitable dense rather as in " the rationals are dense in the reals " ?
"Dense" in the normal man's understanding, = tight, close, etc.
I mean we want to numerically approximate a function (here the function f on \( i\mathbb{R} \)), so we place enough supporting points and calculate the function values there.
The more exact we want to be the more points we place, the denser the grid.
Quote:i even doubt if numeric integration is a good approximation of the whole integral !? afterall it goes from -oo to + oo.
Kouznetsov does it by integrating to a bound of \( \pm 10 \) instead of \( \pm \infty \).
Quote:am i correct in assuming you use dummy variables for the values of f(i) , f(2i) etc and then try to solve it by replacing the integral on the RHS with " rectangles " and the dummy variables ?
Ya not at integer points, ususally more dense. Kouznetsov uses Gauss legendre integration which places the supporting points as zero's of the legendre polynomials.
Quote:and then further try to control those dummy variables by placing upper and lower bounds on their values ?
No its just assumed that at "i*infinity", i.e. at the value using for approximating i*infinity, the value of f is the fixed point (and at "-i*infinity" the conjugated fixed point).
Quote:assuming convergence - hence existance - , how is this necc unique ?Well if it satisfies a certain uniqueness criterion, which it seems to do.
Which is basically injectivity on the vertical strip \( 0\le \Re(z)\le 1 \).
Quote:can you proof the recurrence to have a single unique solution ?
A recurrence is a recurrence. Either it converges then this is a solution or not, then its not a solution.
