Given a sequence xn and the fact that:
limn→∞xn=1xn>0n∈N
Prove
limn→∞n√x1x2⋯xn=1
I'm having some difficulties finishing this proof. I've shown while solving another problem that:
limn→∞xn=a⟹limn→∞1nn∑k=1xk=a
Using this we may state that:
limn→∞xn=1⟹limn→∞1nn∑k=1xk=1
On the other hand by AM-GM we have that:
x1+x2+⋯xnn≥n√x1x2⋯xn
Since xn>0:
x1+x2+⋯xnn≥n√x1x2⋯xn≥0
We know that:
limn→∞x1+x2+⋯xnn=1
Therefore:
1≥limn→∞n√x1x2⋯xn≥0
My idea was to use Monotone Convergence theorem, but since xn is only constrained by xn>0 we can not make any conclusions on the monotonicity of:
yn=n√x1x2⋯xn
(or can we?).
Apparently my idea to use MCT is not applicable here. So the question is what would be the proper way to prove the above?
Answer
Consider the logarithm and use Stolz cesaro to deduce that
limn→∞logn√x1⋯xn=limn→∞1nn∑i=1logxi=limn→∞logxn=0
since xn→1 from which the claim follows.
