Through proof by induction , we find that b n = 2 n − 1 1 + k = 1 ∑ n − 1 2 n − k L k = F n for all n ≥ 2 , where F n denotes the n th Fibonacci number (see Proofs below). And by induction again, we can prove that a m = a m = n = 2 ∑ m b n = n = 2 ∑ m F n = F m + 2 − 2 for all m ≥ 2 . Then by numerical method, m = 2 ∑ ∞ 2 + a m 1 = m = 4 ∑ ∞ F m 1 ≈ 0 . 8 5 9 8 2 9 2 0 4 . Therefore the answer is ⌊ 0 . 8 5 9 8 2 9 2 0 4 1 ⌋ = 1 .
Proof 1: b n = F n for all n ≥ 2
For n = 2 , b 2 = 2 1 + 2 1 = 1 = F 2 . The claim is true for n = 2 . Assuming the claim is true for n , then
b n + 1 = 2 n 1 + k = 1 ∑ n 2 n + 1 − k L k = 2 1 ( 2 n − 1 1 + k = 1 ∑ n 2 n − k L k ) = 2 1 ( 2 n − 1 1 + k = 1 ∑ n − 1 2 n − k L k + 1 L n ) = 2 F n + F n − 1 + F n + 1 = 2 2 F n + 1 = F n + 1 Note that L n = F n − 1 + F n + 1
The claim is also true for n + 1 and hence true for all n ≥ 2 .
Proof 2: a m = F m + 2 − 2 for all m ≥ 2
For m = 2 , a 2 = F 2 = 1 = F 4 − 2 , the claim is true for m = 2 . Assuming the claim is true for m , then
a m + 2 = n = 2 ∑ m + 1 F n = n = 2 ∑ m F n + F m + 1 = F m + 2 − 2 + F m + 1 = F m + 3 − 2
The claim is also true for m + 1 and hence true for all m ≥ 2 .
