Description
Let $\{e_n\}$, $e_n\in \mathbb{R}^p$ be a sequence of vectors, $\{U_n\}$, $U_n\in\mathbb{C}^{p\times p}$ be a sequence of unitary matrices (that is $U_i^*=U_i^{-1}$, $^*$denonts conjugate transpose). $Q\in\mathbb{R}^{p\times p}$ is a diagonal matrix with positive diagonal entries. They satisfy the following properties:
$||QU_1e_2||_2<\rho||QU_1e_1||_2$,
$||QU_2e_3||_2<\rho||QU_2e_2||_2$,
$||QU_3e_4||_2<\rho||QU_3e_3||_2$,
...........
$||QU_ie_{i+1}||_2<\rho||QU_ie_i||_2$,...., where $\rho\in(0,1)$, $||\cdot||_2$ denotes $l_2$ norm on vectors.
Questions
Does $\{e_n\}$ converge to zero?
Some observations: consider a special case where $U_i=I$, then $e_n\rightarrow 0$. That means $\{e_n\}$ converges to zero under certain condition. I wonder if it converges when $\{U_n\}$ is an arbitrary sequence of unitary matrices.
