Homework Statement


Please help me find examples.

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

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

I want to find [tex]v_n\neq 0 ,u_n\neq 0[/tex] for all n
 
Please help me find examples.

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

In fact, this is a theorem which say that

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

then I want to find [tex]u_n[/tex] 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.
