Homework Statement


Let [itex](a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}[/itex] be a real sequence such that [itex]a_0\in(0,1)[/itex] and [itex]a_{n+1}=a_n-a_n^2[/itex]
Does [itex]\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}na_n[/itex] exist? If yes, calculate it.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I have a solution but I'd like to see other solutions..

Asking for a solution when you haven't shown your own goes against the general spirit of the homework help forum. Try another forum if you don't want to show your own proof.
