Increasing sequence

Algebra Level 3

{ a n } \{a_n\} is a sequence such that a 1 = 1 a_1=1 , a n + 1 = a n a n + 2 a_{n+1}=\dfrac{a_n}{a_n+2} for positive integer n 1 n \geq 1 .

{ b n } \{b_n\} is a sequence such that b 1 = λ 2 5 λ b_1=\lambda^2-5\lambda , b n + 1 = ( n 2 λ ) ( 1 a n + 1 ) b_{n+1}=(n-2\lambda)(\dfrac{1}{a_n}+1) for positive integer n 1 n \geq 1 , where λ R \lambda \in \mathbb R .

If { b n } \{b_n\} is an increasing sequence for positive integer n 1 n \geq 1 , what is the range of λ \lambda ?

Caveat: The recurrence formula for { b n } \{b_n\} is not defined at n = 0 n=0 .
