One can prove the following statement:
Let
(1)a1,a2,a3,...an,...
be a sequence of non-negative numbers.
Let also k>1 be an integer.
If the sequence
(2)ak1,ak2,ak3,...akn,...
converges and its limit is a, then the sequence (1) also converges and its limit is k√a.
But what if instead of (2) we know that the sequence
(3)a11,a22,a33,...ann,...
converges and its limit is b. Can we then state something about (1), and about its convergence, and possibly about its limit (if such a limit exists)?
Answer
Take (an) defined by :
an=0 if n is even.
an=12 if n is odd.
This sequence satisfies (3) but it does not converge.
