Recently, we suggested two alternative analytical models of proton structure function [Formula: see text] and gluon distribution [Formula: see text] at small [Formula: see text] [L. Machahari and D. K. Choudhury, Eur. Phys. J. A 54, 69 (2018); Commun. Theor. Phys. 71, 56 (2019)] derived from the coupled DGLAP equations for quarks and gluons approximated by Taylor expansion. In this work, we compute the partial momentum fractions carried by quarks and gluons in limited small [Formula: see text] range: [Formula: see text] and compare them with few other models available in the current literature. The analysis leads to understand qualitatively the effects of notions like Froissart saturation and self-similarity in the proton at small [Formula: see text]. We also study if our results conform to the total momentum fractions as predicted in perturbative and lattice QCD.

Froissart bound implies that the total proton–proton cross-section (or equivalently proton structure function) cannot rise faster than [Formula: see text]. Compatibility of such behavior with the notion of self-similarity in proton structure function was suggested by us sometime back. In the present work, we generalize and improve it further by considering more recent self-similarity based models of proton structure functions and compare with recent data as well as with the model of Block, Durand, Ha and McKay.

Momentum sum rule can be used as an inequality to estimate the lower and upper bounds of the momentum fractions of quarks and gluons in a model of proton valid in a limited x range. We compute such bounds in a self-similarity based model of proton structure function valid in the range 6.2 × 10-7 ≤ x ≤ 10-2. The results conform to the asymptotic QCD expectations.
