Let $ psi$ be a function satisfying :




  • $psi: mathbb{R}^+rightarrow mathbb{R}^+$ .


  • $psi $ is non-decreasing.


  • $psi (x)< x, forall x> 0$.




I want to know if the following statement is true:
$$text{Let } alpha >1. text{ Then }, forall x> 0: psi(alpha x)leq alpha psi( x);.$$






If not, can you give me a counter example please.

    Not true. The function can increase dramatically over a short interval.

Consider
$$
f(x) = begin{cases} x, & x > 1 \ x^2 & x in [0,1] end{cases}
$$

around $x approx 0.9$.

    There is an easy counterexample: imagine the function $psi(x)$ defined by parts as



    $$psi(x)=begin{cases}dfrac{x}{10} &xleq 1000\ dfrac{2x}{5}+60 &x>1000end{cases}$$



    Clearly $psi(x)leq x$ for all $x$, it is non-decreasing, but for $x=1000$ and $alpha=2>1$ we have $psi(2cdot 1000)=500>200=2cdot psi(1000)$.
