Let $ (x_n)_{n \ge 1} $ be a sequence such that $ x_1 = a > 0 $ and $ x_{n+1} = \ln(1+x_n) $.
Find $ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n(nx_n - 2)}{ln(n)}  .$
(Note that $  \lim_{n \to \infty} x_n = 0  $ and $  \lim_{n \to \infty} nx_n = 2  $ )

Prove that if $ f: R\to{R}$ is a derivable function with the property $ f(x)=f(\frac{x}{2})+\frac{x}{2}f^{'}(x)$, for every $ x\in{R}$, then f is a polynomial function of degree smaller or equal than 1

Limit of two sequences
DGC75   0
Today at 4:27 PM
I need help with calculating the following two limits as n tends to infinity, n belongs to naturals,
$\lim_{n\to+\infty} \left(n^{n!}\right) \cdot \left(1-\frac{(n!)^{n^3}}{n^{n!}}\right)$
$\lim_{n\to+\infty} \frac{(n!)^{2^n}}{(2^n)!}$
They should be doable only with root and ratio tests, and squeeze theorem. Thanks in advance!

N Today at 1:32 PM by Mathzeus1024
Let $ f:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R} $ be a function that admits a primitive $ F. $

a) Show that there exists a real number $ c $ such that $ f(c)-F(c)>1 $ if $ \lim_{x\to\infty } \frac{1+F(x)}{e^x} =-\infty . $

b) Prove that there exists a real number $ c' $ such that $ f(c') -(F(c'))^2<1. $

12481. Proposed by Bernhard Elsner, Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Versailles, France, and Eric Müller, Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany. Let $f_1, \ldots, f_n$ be holomorphic functions on $U$, where $U$ is an open, connected subset of $\mathbb{C}$. Suppose that the function $g : U \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ given by $g(z) = |f_1(z)| + \cdots + |f_n(z)|$ takes a maximum value in $U$. Must each function $f_k$ be constant on $U$?
