calculus - Find limlimitsntoinftyfracxnn when limlimitsntoinftyxn+kxn exists



Let (xn)n1 be a sequence with real numbers and k a fixed natural number such that limn(xn+kxn)=l


Find limnxnn



I have a strong guess that the limit is lk and I tried to prove it using the sequence yn=xn+1xn. We know that limn(yn+yn+1++yn+k1)=l and if we found limnyn we would have from the Cesaro Stolz lemma that limnxnn=limnyn


Answer



For fixed m{1,,k} the sequence (yn) defined by yn=xm+kn satisfies yn+1yn=x(m+kn)+kxm+knl,

so that Cesaro Stolz can be applied to (yn). It follows that ynnl and xm+knm+kn=ynnnm+kn lk for n.
This holds for each m{1,,k}, and therefore limnxnn=lk.
