Let $M$ be the midpoint of the side $BC$ of triangle $ABC$. The bisector of the exterior angle of point $A$ intersects the side $BC$ in $D$. Let the circumcircle of triangle $ADM$ intersect the lines $AB$ and $AC$ in $E$ and $F$ respectively. If the midpoint of $EF$ is $N$, prove that $MN\parallel AD$.

Let $H$ be the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the sides $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Assume that $H$ lies inside the quadrilateral $BMNC$ and that the circumcircles of triangles $BMH$ and $CNH$ are tangent to each other. The line through $H$ parallel to $BC$ intersects the circumcircles of the triangles $BMH$ and $CNH$ in the points $K$ and $L$, respectively. Let $F$ be the intersection point of $MK$ and $NL$ and let $J$ be the incenter of triangle $MHN$. Prove that $F J = F A$.

do you mean closed form or explicit formula of $a_n$?

Just find a function $f$ ,s.t. $a_n=f(n)$

You can bound the value of a_n quite well (consider IMO Shortlist 1975 Problem 14), but there is not an explicit formula to calculate a_n.
