Homework Help Overview
The discussion revolves around finding sequences \( u_n \) and \( v_n \) that satisfy specific conditions related to their sums and relationships. The sequences must be non-negative and adhere to the inequality \( u_{n+1} \leq u_n + v_n \) for all \( n \), with the sum \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} v_n \) being finite.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Assumption checking
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants explore various examples for \( u_n \) and \( v_n \), with some suggesting specific forms like \( v_n = 1/2^n \) and \( u_n = 1/n \). Others express a desire for both sequences to be non-zero and question the implications of the conditions provided.
Discussion Status
The discussion is ongoing, with participants sharing potential examples and questioning the requirements for the sequences. Some guidance has been offered regarding the selection of summable sequences, but there is no consensus on the final forms of \( u_n \) and \( v_n \).
Contextual Notes
Some participants note the difficulty in finding appropriate sequences that meet the criteria while also adhering to the theorem mentioned, which relates to the existence of limits under certain conditions.
