VMO 2009 Problem 2

    The sequence {xn}\{x_n\} is defined by {x1=12xn=xn−12+4xn−1+xn−12\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. Prove that the sequence {yn}\{y_n\} , where yn=∑i=1n1xi2y_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{1}{{{x}_{i}}^{2}} , has a finite limit and find that limit.
