Convergence of sequences formed by orthocenters, incenters, and centroids in repeated triang...

Below I give an example of a triangle which seems to grow exponentially when iterating the process from the question (so it satisfies Scenario 3). The example relies on the existence of a fixed point …

Convergence rate of a sequence

Suppose that we already know that $x_k>0\forall k$. Clearly $(x_k)$ and $(y_k)$ are decreasing sequences which converge to $0$. Then we can prove that $b_k:=\frac{x_{k}}{x_{k-1}}\to 1$. To do it note …

Convergence of a sequence

If, as you say, $a_k<0.1$ for all $k$, then we can prove by induction that $x_k>\frac{3}{4}$ for all $k$, with induction step $x_{k+1}>0.9\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{2\cdot\frac{3}{4}}\right)=\frac{3}{ …
