Let (xn)n≥1 be a sequence with real numbers and k a fixed natural number such that limn→∞(xn+k−xn)=l
Find limn→∞xnn
I have a strong guess that the limit is lk and I tried to prove it using the sequence yn=xn+1−xn. We know that limn→∞(yn+yn+1+⋯+yn+k−1)=l and if we found limn→∞yn we would have from the Cesaro Stolz lemma that limn→∞xnn=limn→∞yn
Answer
For fixed m∈{1,…,k} the sequence (yn) defined by yn=xm+kn satisfies yn+1−yn=x(m+kn)+k−xm+kn→l,
so that Cesaro Stolz can be applied to (yn). It follows that ynn→l and xm+knm+kn=ynn⋅nm+kn →lk for n→∞.
This holds for each m∈{1,…,k}, and therefore limn→∞xnn=lk.
