2024-07 Limit of a sequence

For fixed positive numbers \( x_1, x_2, \dots, x_m \), we define a sequence \( \{ a_n \} \) by \( a_n = x_n \) for \(n \leq m \) and
\[
a_n = a_{n-1}^r + a_{n-2}^r + \dots + a_{n-k}^r
\]
for \( n > m \), where \( r \in (0, 1) \). Find \( \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n \).

2023-21 A limit

Find the following limit:

\[
\lim_{n \to \infty} \left( \frac{\sum_{k=1}^{n+2} k^k}{\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} k^k} – \frac{\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} k^k}{\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^k} \right)
\]

2012-5 Iterative geometric mean

For given positive real numbers \(a_1,\ldots,a_k\) and for each integer n≥k, let \(a_{n+1}\) be the geometric mean of \( a_n, a_{n-1}, a_{n-2}, \ldots, a_{n-k+1}\). Prove that \( \lim_{n\to\infty} a_n\) exists and compute this limit.

2011-23 Constant Function

Let \(f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^{n-1}\) be a function such that for each point a in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), the limit $$\lim_{x\to a} \frac{|f(x)-f(a)|}{|x-a|}$$ exists. Prove that f is a constant function.
