Find the first five terms of the sequence defined by each of these recurrence relations and initial conditions
an = nan−1 + n2an−2, a0 = 1, a1 = 1
an = an−1 + an−3, a0 = 1, a1 = 2, a2 = 0
Let be two real numbers such that . For , we define and
a) Prove that the sequence is monotonically increasing and that the sequence is monotonically decreasing.
b) Show that the sequences and are bounded.
c) Deduce that the two sequences converge and prove that they converge to the same limit.
