We say that a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers n1, n2, … is non-decelerating if nk+1−nk≤nk+2−nk+1 holds for all positive integers k. We say that a strictly increasing sequence n1, n2, … is convergence-inducing, if the following statement is true for all real sequences a1, a2, …: if subsequence am+n1, am+n2, … is convergent and tends to 0 for all positive integers m, then sequence a1, a2, … is also convergent and tends to 0. Prove that a non-decelerating sequence n1, n2, … is convergence-inducing if and only if sequence n2−n1, n3−n2, … is bounded from above.
This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, then check yourself against the publisher's own solution, linked below. Be honest about it: the record is only any use to you if it is.
