BALTIC-WAY 2024 Problem 5

  • Answer

Find all positive real numbers λ\lambda such that every sequence a1,a2,…a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots of positive real numbers satisfying

an+1=λ⋅a1+a2+…+anna_{n+1}=\lambda \cdot \frac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots+a_{n}}{n}

for all n≥20242024n \geq 2024^{2024} is bounded. Remark: A sequence a1,a2,…a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots of positive real numbers is bounded if there exists a real number MM such that ai<Ma_{i}<M for all i=1,2,…i=1,2, \ldots
