The sequence { x n } \{x_n\} { x n } is defined by { x 1 = 1 2 x n = x n − 1 2 + 4 x n − 1 + x n − 1 2 \left\{ \begin{array}{l}x_1 = \frac{1}{2} x_n = \frac{{\sqrt {x_{n - 1} ^2 + 4x_{n - 1} } + x_{n - 1} }}{2} \end{array} \right. { x 1 = 2 1 x n = 2 x n − 1 2 + 4 x n − 1 + x n − 1
Prove that the sequence { y n } \{y_n\} { y n } , where y n = ∑ i = 1 n 1 x i 2 y_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{1}{{{x}_{i}}^{2}} y n = ∑ i = 1 n x i 2 1 , has a finite limit and find that limit.
