USAMO 1993 Problem 4

  • Day 2
  • Answer

The sequence ana_{n} of odd positive integers is defined as follows: a1=r,a2=sa_{1}=r, a_{2}=s, and ana_{n} is the greatest odd divisor of an−1+an−2a_{n-1}+a_{n-2}. Show that, for sufficiently large n,ann, a_{n} is constant and find this constant (in terms of rr and ss ).
