1. Initial Assumptions and Base Cases:
- We start by considering the initial value x1. We analyze three cases:
- x1<0
- x1>1
- x1∈[0,1]
- For x1<0, xn>1 for n>1, so x2011>20122011 is true.
- For x1>1, x2<0 and xn>1 for n>2, so x2011>20122011 is true.
- We now focus on the case x1∈[0,1].
2. Induction Hypothesis:
- We will use mathematical induction to show that for n≥3, xn∈(1−n+11,1].
- Base Case:
- For n=3, we have x3=1−x1x2.
- Since x1∈[0,1] and x2=1−x1, we have x1x2=x1(1−x1)≤41 (since the maximum value of x1(1−x1) is 41 when x1=21).
- Therefore, x3=1−x1(1−x1)≥1−41=43.
- Hence, x3∈(1−41,1].
3. Inductive Step:
- Assume that for some n≥3, xn∈(1−n+11,1].
- We need to show that xn+1∈(1−n+21,1].
- From the recurrence relation, xn+1=1−x1x2⋯xn.
- By the induction hypothesis, xn∈(1−n+11,1], so x1x2⋯xn∈[0,n+11].
- Therefore, 1−x1x2⋯xn≥1−n+11.
- We need to show that 1−x1x2⋯xn<1−n+21.
- Since x1x2⋯xn≤n+11, we have:
1−x1x2⋯xn≥1−n+11
xn+1≥1−n+11
- To show the upper bound, we note that x1x2⋯xn≤n+11, so:
xn+1=1−x1x2⋯xn>1−n+21
- Hence, xn+1∈(1−n+21,1].
4. Conclusion:
- By induction, for n≥3, xn∈(1−n+11,1].
- Specifically, for n=2011, we have x2011∈(1−20121,1].
- Therefore, x2011>20122011.
The final answer is x2011>20122011.
