We are given a 9 = 0 . It is really easy to find a 8 = 1 , a 7 = 2 , a 6 = 3 . But from now I would suggest you to make some observations. If you are searching for any n which is decreasing, Then note that for some positive integer p . We have x > a n + 1 . where x is the integers between p 2 and ( p + 1 ) 2 and mathematically representing 2 p > n .
Now substitute the value of n = 5 .
2 p > 3 p > 1 . 5 L e t p = 2
This means that a 5 lies between 2 2 and 3 2 . Also 3 2 − 2 2 = 5 , according to the sequence equation we see a 6 should be the difference of a 5 − ⌊ a 5 ⌋ 2 . This gives a 5 = 7 = 3 2 − 2 = ( p + 1 ) 2 − 2 .
By similar method of substitution you will get a 1 = 1 3 0 5 3 7 6 7 .
