Homework Statement


Please help me find examples.

u_n\subset [0,\infty) and v_n\subset [0,\infty) such that
u_{n+1}\leq u_n+v_n for all n and \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}v_n
is finite.

Say you take u_n=0 for all n...

I want to find v_n\neq 0 ,u_n\neq 0 for all n
 
My advice is to first pick a nice, summable v_n.
 
Please help me find examples.

u_n\subset [0,\infty) and v_n\subset [0,\infty) such that
u_{n+1}\leq u_n+v_n for all n and \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}v_n
is finite.

In fact, this is a theorem which say that

u_n\subset [0,\infty) and v_n\subset [0,\infty) such that
u_{n+1}\leq u_n+v_n for all n
If \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}v_n
is finite then \displaystyle{\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}u_n} exists

then I want to find u_n which dificult to find lim in order to guarantee
this therem is well better than MCT because this therem is generalization of MCT.
 
Why don't you want to put in some effort?

Pick a summable (v_n), like say v_n = 1/2^n. Now pick any decreasing (u_n), like u_n = 1/n.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
