/-- Various statements equivalent to the fact that `f n` grows exponentially slower than `R ^ n`.

* 0: $f n = o(a ^ n)$ for some $-R < a < R$;
* 1: $f n = o(a ^ n)$ for some $0 < a < R$;
* 2: $f n = O(a ^ n)$ for some $-R < a < R$;
* 3: $f n = O(a ^ n)$ for some $0 < a < R$;
* 4: there exist `a < R` and `C` such that one of `C` and `R` is positive and $|f n| ≤ Ca^n$
     for all `n`;
* 5: there exists `0 < a < R` and a positive `C` such that $|f n| ≤ Ca^n$ for all `n`;
* 6: there exists `a < R` such that $|f n| ≤ a ^ n$ for sufficiently large `n`;
* 7: there exists `0 < a < R` such that $|f n| ≤ a ^ n$ for sufficiently large `n`.
