(1) Since an+2=3an+1−2an, we have:
dndn+1=an+1−anan+2−an+1=an+1−an3an+1−2an−an+1=an+1−an2(an+1−an)=2.
Therefore, the sequence {dn} is a geometric progression with d1=a2−a1=1 and common ratio q=2. Consequently, we have dn=2n−1.
(2) We are given dn=2n−1 and dn=an+1−an. Therefore, for n≥2,
an+1−an=2n−1.
Starting with n=1, we have:
a2−a1=20,a3−a2=21,a4−a3=22, …, an−an−1=2n−2.
By summing these equations, we obtain:
an−a1=20+21+…+2n−2=1−21−2n−1=2n−1−1.
Consequently, we have:
an=2n−1+1.
Thus,
an1=2n−1+11<2n−11(n≥2).
When n=1, Sn=a11=21<23 holds.
For n≥2, the sum of the first n terms of the sequence {an1} is:
Sn=a11+a21+a31+…+an1=21+221+…+2n−11.
Recognizing a geometric series, we have:
Sn=21+1−2141(1−2n−11)=23−2n1<23.
Therefore, we conclude that Sn<23 for all n∈N∗, and the final result is:
Sn<23.
