Compute upper limit of $(c_n)^{1/n}$ if $c_{2n}=0$ and $c_{2n+1}=1/(2n+1)$












0












$begingroup$


I want to find the upper limit of $left((c_n)_{ninmathbb{N}}right)^{frac{1}{n}}$, where $c_n=0$ for $nin 2mathbb{N}$ and $c_n=frac{1}{n}$ for $nin 2mathbb{N}+1$. I know that the upper limit is 1, but how can i prove it?
My idea was to establish $phi:mathbb{N} to mathbb{N}$, $phi(n)=2n+1$ and then I have all my nonzero elements, so that $c_{phi(n)}$=$frac{1}{phi(n)}$



Thanks for your help!

    Your notations are off. You are asking for the "upper limit" (that is, the limsup) of $(c_n)^{1/n}$.

We have that $$(c_n)^frac1n le frac1{sqrt[n]n}le 1$$



is strictly increasing for $nge 2$ and for $n=2k+1$



$$(c_n)^frac1n=frac1{sqrt[2k+1]{2k+1}}to 1$$
