A sequence of real numbers {an}n\{a_n\}_n is called a bs sequence if an=an+1an+2a_n = |a_{n+1} - a_{n+2}|, for all n0n\geq 0. Prove that a bs sequence is bounded if and only if the function ff given by f(n,k)=anak(anak)f(n,k)=a_na_k(a_n-a_k), for all n,k0n,k\geq 0 is the null function. Mihai Baluna - ISL 2004
