Problem 4 (due Monday, March 31 )
A sequence a1,a2,… of real numbers has the following properties:
(i) |a1+a2+…+ak|≤1 for every k;
(ii) |ak−ak−1|≤1/k for every k≥2.
Suppose that |ak|≥c√k for infinitely many k. Prove that c≤√2.
We received a solution from Josiah Moltz and Dr Mathew Wolak. For detailed solutions see the following link Solution.
