Homework Statement


What are all of the subsequences of {xn}?


Homework Equations


{xn}={1, 1+1/2, 2, 1-1/2, 1, 1+1/3, 3, 1-1/3, 1, 1+1/4, 4, 1-1/4, 1, ...}


The Attempt at a Solution


So far I have:
{1}, {1+1/n}, {1-1/n} and {n} but I can't find any more... I am pretty sure there are though

Well, there is

{1+1/2, 2, 1-1/2, 1, 1+1/3, 3, 1-1/3, 1, 1+1/4, 4, 1-1/4, 1, ...}

and

{1, 2, 1-1/2, 1, 1+1/3, 3, 1-1/3, 1, 1+1/4, 4, 1-1/4, 1, ...}



I doubt there's a reasonable way to describe "the set of all subsequences of xn" in any way other than that description.
 
sorry, I miswrote the question, it was "what are the subsequences of {xn}", I think it refers to subsequences that you can define like I did previously using 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...
