IMC 2012 Problem 7

    Define the sequence a0,a1,…a_0,a_1,\dots inductively by a0=1a_0=1 , a1=12a_1=\frac{1}{2} , and an+1=nan21+(n+1)an,∀n≥1.a_{n+1}=\dfrac{n a_n^2}{1+(n+1)a_n}, \forall n \ge 1. Show that the series ∑k=0∞ak+1ak\sum_{k=0}^\infty \dfrac{a_{k+1}}{a_k} converges and determine its value.
