Proving that a sequence [$a_n = \frac{v_n}{n},\; n \ge 2$] converges.

1.1k Views Asked by At

For $n \ge 2$ we define numbers $a_n$ as follows:

$\quad \text{Set } u_n = [\frac{n \times n}{2}] \quad \text{ ([.] is the floor function)}$

$\quad \text{Set } v_n = \text{ the greatest positive integer with } v_n^2 \le u_n$

$\quad \text{Set } a_n = \frac{v_n}{n}$

Question: Is there a proof that the sequence $(a_n)$ converges?

My Work

This Python program is all I have...

import math

def getY(daInt):
    y = 1
    finis = -1
    while finis < 0:
        if y * y > daInt:
            return y - 1
        y = y + 1

for x in range(2, 101):
    myInt = math.floor(x * x/2)
    myY = getY(myInt)
    print(x, myInt, myY, myY/x)

As indicated in the comments, if $n=2m$ then $u_{2m}=\left[\frac{2m\cdot 2m}{2}\right]=2m^2$. If $n=2m+1$ then $u_{2m+1}=\left[\frac{(2m+1)\cdot (2m+1)}{2}\right]=2m^2+2m$.

From the above, we have $$v_{2m}^2\leq u_{2m} < (v_{2m}+1)^2 \Rightarrow 0\leq v_{2m}\leq\sqrt{u_{2m}}<v_{2m}+1$$ $$v_{2m+1}^2\leq u_{2m+1}<(v_{2m+1}+1)^2 \Rightarrow 0\leq v_{2m+1}\leq \sqrt{u_{2m+1}}<v_{2m+1}+1$$ or $$\frac{v_{2m}}{2m}\leq\frac{m\sqrt{2}}{2m}<\frac{v_{2m}+1}{2m} \Rightarrow 0\leq \color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}-\color{red}{\frac{v_{2m}}{2m}} <\frac{1}{2m}$$ $$\frac{v_{2m+1}}{2m+1}\leq \frac{\sqrt{2m^2+2m}}{2m+1}<\frac{v_{2m+1}+1}{2m+1} \Rightarrow 0\leq \color{blue}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{m}}}{1+\frac{1}{2m}}-\color{red}{\frac{v_{2m+1}}{2m+1}}<\frac{1}{2m+1}$$ altogether (original sequence was partitioned into 2 subsequences, both converging) and by the squeeze theorem $$\lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{v_n}{n}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=0.70710...$$

NOTE: I used the fact that if $n$ is the greatest positive integer such that $n^2 \leq m$, this also means $n^2\leq m < (n+1)^2$. If this is not true, then $(n+1)^2 \leq m$ and $n$ is not the greatest.
