Putnam 1982 B5

  • Session B

For each x>eex>e^e define a sequence Sx=u0,u1,…S_x=u_0,u_1,\ldots recursively as follows: u0=eu_0=e , and for n≥0n\ge0 , un+1=log⁡unxu_{n+1}=\log_{u_n}x . Prove that SxS_x converges to a number g(x)g(x) and that the function gg defined in this way is continuous for x>eex>e^e .
