Extract

In the problem proposed by A. G. Ioachimescu in 1895, it is asked to be shown that the sequence , defined by , for each , is convergent and its limit lies between -2 and -1.

There have been given many generalisations and other results regarding Ioachimescu’s problem in the literature (see, for example, [2], [3], [4, Theorem 1, parts (a) and (b)], [5, problem P2, parts (i) and (ii)],).
